We believe progress shouldn't stop at the clinic door.

A note from Alex

I wanted to do more for families like mine.

In 2007, my dad had a stroke. I became his voice through rehab. I saw the difference his therapists made, and how much of recovery happened outside the time we had with them.

Between appointments, it was hard to know what was helping or what to do next. The people caring for him needed a clearer picture, but collecting it meant more paperwork and less time for care. I wanted to do something about that.

That experience shaped my work in cognitive neuroscience, my MSc and clinical research at Sunnybrook. I kept coming back to one question: how could technology help people keep going, and give their care teams more ways to support them?

In 2019, that became Neurofit. Occupational therapists were central to my dad’s rehab, so that’s where we began. The vision has always been bigger: supporting this community and the many people whose needs change as they recover, learn and get back to everyday life.

I think of it as giving clinicians “super powers”: more visibility between visits, more ways to personalize practice, and more time to spend with people. As their clients’ needs evolve, their tools should evolve with them.

What started with my dad is now a shared effort with clinicians, families and educators. I’m building Neurofit so that more people, in more places, can feel supported beyond the session.
