Omniscient (o8t®) is the world leader in using AI to decode the human brain - a field known as connectomics. Our mission is to improve the lives of billions through connectomics. Today, Omniscient’s connectomic analysis platform, Quicktome®, generates personalized, patient-specific maps of an individual’s brain networks, or connectome. These critical insights inform prognosis and planning across neurologic conditions, from cranial surgery and neuro-oncology to stroke and beyond. Tomorrow, Omniscient is poised to revolutionize brain health and help conquer conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease and depression through truly personalized brain medicine.

Our products deliver these insights with enterprise-grade efficiency and usability, enabling broader access to vital subject-specific neurological insights.

Since founding, we have grown exponentially and achieved several world firsts with the development of the world’s first connectomic neurosurgical planning and visualization platform to be cleared by regulatory bodies. Omniscient recently expanded its product offering to include the first FDA-cleared neurological planning and visualization tool using resting-state fMRI, opening up new horizons for clinicians to assess brain connectivity and function in cases such as brain surgery, stroke, disorders of consciousness, and oncology.

With continued development, we intend to improve the lives of billions with both medical and non-medical products and services that drastically change how the human brain is understood, treated, and even enhanced.
