About

Our Story

BrainFx was founded by Tracy Milner and Heather Condello. Tracy and Heather are both Occupational Therapists who have practiced extensively in the area of neurorehabilitation with adults and children and led multi-disciplinary healthcare organizations for the past eighteen years.

Traditional Assessments Not Translating to Function

In their practice, it became apparent to Heather and Tracy that the results of traditional standardized assessment tools were not consistent with their functional observations of people with mild to moderate dysfunction. More complex functional cognitive skills were missed and cognition was often measured in isolation, missing the critical impact that physical and psychosocial challenges can have on functional cognition. In order to assess people with mild to moderate dysfunction they found they were needing to pull together an eclectic battery of tools but still saw a gap.

Need for Assessment Sensitive to Milder Dysfunction

They recognized the significant need for a comprehensive assessment tool for people with brain disorders, sensitive to mild dysfunction and applicable to real life activities. Assessments on the market were missing early signs of dementia and milder signs of concussion. Their frustration in practice inspired BrainFx. Passionate about using neurofunctional assessment and intervention, they view BrainFx as the opportunity to combine technology, clinical knowledge and research to deliver unique insights to health care teams and make a difference globally in health outcomes. positively impact children and adults globally.

Our Founders

Tracy Milner

Co-Founder, CEO and OT

Inspired by her own frustration on the front lines, Tracy is passionate about unlocking how the brain functions to improve everyday life. By colliding clinical care with AI and technology, she envisions a world where monitoring your brain health is as common as your annual physical. Where clinicians don’t need to tell another patient with early or milder cognitive dysfunction to ‘come back when it is worse’ because they are empowered to act instead. When not striving to make a global impact on healthcare, ask to see photos of Tracy’s twice-a-year birthday cakes or pumpkin carvings.

Heather Condello

Co-Founder, COO and OT

Fascinated within her clinical practice to always learn more about the functional presentation of brain disorders and passionate to educate anyone who will listen on the significant impact mild brain disorders can have in one’s daily life, Heather is driven to promote BrainFx’s mission to the world. Heather envisions a healthcare system where monitoring brain health and understanding functional implications of brain impairment are as commonplace as tracking physical health. When not working, Heather enjoys travelling to warm destinations, keeping active, and has a newfound determination to work through her bucket list.
