AI-supported neurodevelopmental assessment · UK

Half a million people are waiting to be understood.

NeuroBridge helps clinicians assess ADHD and autism sooner — and helps schools catch needs early. Structured, auditable, and always signed off by a human.

The problem

The wait is the crisis.

Behind every number on a waiting list is a child struggling at school without support, or an adult who has spent years wondering why their brain works the way it does. Many adults waiting today had needs that were visible in childhood — and went unrecognised.

This isn't a shortage of clinical expertise. It's fragmented information and overwhelmed professionals: histories scattered across systems, hours of documentation before judgement can even begin, and no thread connecting what a teacher notices at seven to what a clinician assesses at twenty-nine.

The pathway

One thread, from the classroom to the clinic.

Five stages. The platform structures the first four so the fifth — human judgement — comes sooner.

  1. 1

    Notice

    A teacher logs concerns in the tools the school already uses — reading pace, focus, wellbeing. Nothing new to learn.

  2. 2

    Screen

    Adaptive screening, grounded in DSM-5 and ICD-11 frameworks, builds a structured picture from teacher, parent and pupil input.

  3. 3

    Support

    An Assess–Plan–Do–Review-aligned plan starts help now — with teacher, SENCO and parents in the loop, and consent recorded.

  4. 4

    Assess

    Adults and referred children complete a full structured assessment. The platform compiles a doctor-ready report — criteria mapping, differentials, formulation.

  5. 5

    Confirm

    A named clinician reviews the evidence and signs off. Diagnosis stays human.

The platform

Two front doors. One engine.

For health services

Cut the queue, not the care.

Structured pre-assessment and full adult assessments compiled to a doctor-ready standard — so clinicians spend their time on judgement, not paperwork.

  • Adaptive ADHD and autism assessments
  • Criteria mapping, differentials and formulation
  • Named-clinician sign-off built in

For schools & trusts

Catch it at seven, not twenty-nine.

Early identification woven into platforms schools already use, feeding the statutory SEND graduated approach instead of replacing it.

  • Continuous signals from existing school tools
  • APDR-aligned support plans, drafted for the SENCO
  • A consented, portable record when referral is needed

Adaptive assessment

Questions adjust in real time to each person — richer answers, less fatigue, no generic forms.

Doctor-ready reports

Scattered histories become one structured document a clinician can act on in minutes.

Everyone in the loop

Teacher, SENCO, parent and clinician see the same picture — with consent recorded at every step.

Evidence you can trace

Every conclusion links back to its source in a tamper-evident log. Nothing is a black box.

Principles

Diagnosis stays human.

Trust isn't a feature we add later. It's the constraint we design inside.

Human sign-off

No diagnosis is recorded until a named clinician reviews the evidence and confirms it.

Consent first

Families control who sees what. Children's data is handled under enhanced safeguards.

Bias-tested

Identification gaps cut both ways across communities. We test for them deliberately, not incidentally.

Traceable by design

Every output can be traced to the evidence behind it — for clinicians, families and regulators alike.

Team

Built by engineers. Guided by clinicians.

Work with us

Pilot the platform.

We're looking for NHS services, schools and multi-academy trusts to shape the first pilots — and for people who believe a ten-year wait shouldn't be anyone's starting point.
