MindMetric for Teams

An opt-in workplace wellness tool that turns short, gamified cognitive check-ins into team-level wellness dashboards for HR leaders — without ever collecting personal health data, only aggregate trends.

Target user

HR and people-ops leads at mid-size companies (200-2000 employees)

Features
  • 3-minute weekly cognitive check-in (memory, focus, mood) that aggregates to team-level trend lines, never individual records
  • Team wellness heatmap that flags departments trending downward and suggests intervention playbooks (meeting load, PTO usage)
  • Manager view limited to red/green/yellow status plus recommended actions, never raw scores — privacy by design
  • Quarterly neuroscience briefing in plain English for HR leads explaining what the trends may indicate
Why now

Foundational-AI-meets-neuroscience startups are now raising serious capital, which means the workplace-wellness buyer is increasingly open to scientifically credible cognitive tools over generic mindfulness apps.

Demand

Employee wellness software is a $681M market growing to $1.3B by 2032 (7.47% CAGR), mental health ecosystems get ~40% of corporate wellness spend, and neurotech-AI is attracting capital (Piramidal raised $6M seed), but 'cognitive check-ins' is a narrow sub-niche within a crowded category.Employee Wellness Software Market Report | Global Forecast From 2025 To 2032Piramidal Raises $6M in Seed Funding to Advance AI-Powered Neurotech

Longevity
7/10

Structural shift from self-reported surveys to passive/cognitive data is durable, and aggregate-only architectures are reinforced by privacy regulation (GDPR, EEOC concerns) — favors privacy-first designs long-term.Corporate Wellness Is Moving From Surveys to Passive Health Data

Feasibility
5/10

Stack is conventional (mobile app + aggregation dashboard + B2B SSO/billing), but the 'cognitive check-in' core requires scientific validation and a defensible game mechanic, and competing on credibility against Haloscape/Piramidal-backed science is non-trivial.
