Kernel was founded in 2016 with the objective to improve the way we measure the brain. We evaluated every neuroimaging modality for utility, scalability, ease-of-use, and technical readiness. In 2018, Kernel's team of world-class engineers and scientists began developing a technology called time-domain functional near-infrared spectroscopy, which became our first hardware product - Kernel Flow.


Flow allows for natural head motion, real-world measurements, and large scale data collection while maintaining research-grade neuroimaging quality.


We have built a software and services platform around our core hardware technology and are now on a mission to accelerate treatment discovery, improve patient outcomes, and transform neuromedicine with precision biomarkers.
