Roadmap & Collaborations

Building the evidence. Building the partnerships.

VBuddies is progressing from a working prototype and early user validation towards research partnerships, clinical evidence and health-system adoption.

We are developing the company alongside researchers and health and care professionals, and are preparing to work directly with people living with dementia and their carers to ensure the technology is relevant, responsible and designed for real-world use.

Roadmap to date

Momentum across technology, users and research.

Technology

Working product developed and moving through iterative user testing.

Users

10+ early users have participated in product testing and feedback.

Research

Scientific and academic expertise established around the programme.

Healthcare

Early discussions underway around research, pilots and future pathway integration.

IP

Patent-pending technology and registered VBuddies brand protection in place.

Next milestone

Structured pilot and validation partnerships.

Scientific & clinical advisors

Credible scientists guiding the approach.

Named academic and clinical advisers are working with VBuddies to guide development across cognitive ageing, autobiographical memory, healthcare AI, quality and regulation.

Dr Helena Gellersen

External Cognitive Advisor

MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit, University of Cambridge

Research expertise in autobiographical memory, ageing and cognition.

Additional research, clinical and technical relationships are being developed as the evidence programme progresses.

Building with health and care

Engaging where longitudinal cognitive information could add value.

VBuddies is engaging with health, care and community organisations to explore where longitudinal cognitive information could add value within existing pathways.

Healthcare

Exploring how repeated cognitive information could complement assessment, review and ongoing management.

Care & community

Gathering practical feedback on usability, engagement and person-centred relevance.

Research

Developing the partnerships and study designs required for structured validation.

Partner with us

We’re looking for partners to help build the evidence.

We’ve reached a working prototype. The next chapter is collaborative — pilots, research and clinical partnerships that turn early validation into real-world impact.

Run a pilot together

We're seeking health, care and research organisations to co-run structured pilots and help shape the product for real-world use.

Tell us your use case

If you can see where longitudinal cognitive intelligence could help your service or research, a letter of support helps us prioritise what to build.

Collaborate on research

Work with us on joint studies that strengthen scientific validity and build the clinical evidence base.

Inform clinical pathways

Help us learn how longitudinal cognitive intelligence can fit within real care pathways, your settings and your patients.

From working prototype to evidence, partnerships and real-world adoption — together.
