For veterans and the VA

Built for the population it's needed for most.

Traumatic brain injury is widely characterized as the signature wound of the post-9/11 conflicts. Hundreds of thousands of service members have received a TBI diagnosis since 2000, and downstream cognitive, behavioral, and sleep symptoms can persist for decades. VA cognitive-rehabilitation capacity is documented to be under-staffed relative to need. BrainMeBack is designed to extend therapeutic dose density between in-person clinician sessions — for a population where structured, daily, supervised practice is exactly the care model the evidence supports.

Two distinct audiences — same clinical posture

VA medical centers & federal contracting

For VAMCs, Polytrauma System of Care sites, and VA Central Office contracting officers. BrainMeBack is built to slot into the VA cognitive-rehabilitation pathway as a clinician-prescribed, evidence-supported, audit-loggable extension of in-person care — not as a replacement for the specialists you already have.

FAR Part 12 (commercial-item acquisition) and Subpart 13 (simplified acquisitions) for pilot scopes
VA Federal Supply Schedule (where applicable) for catalog-style ordering across facilities
IDIQ / BPA / multi-year vehicles for system-wide deployments
Subcontracting with an SDVOSB or VOSB prime for set-aside-eligible procurements

Individual veterans — prescribed through their VA clinician

Veterans access BrainMeBack the same way every other patient does: through their supervising clinician's prescription. There is no direct-to-veteran enrollment. The platform's subsidized Access Tier is a pricing mechanism, not a consumer SKU — it reduces the cost of clinician-prescribed access for service-connected veterans, insurance-gap populations, and underserved communities, while preserving the same prescribing model used in every other clinical channel.

During the pilot period, Access Tier enrollment is coordinated between the veteran's VA provider, the patient's VA-issued credentials, and our deployment team. The supervising clinician — never the platform — owns the prescription, the severity assessment, and any clinical escalation.

Federal-readiness posture

What VA contracting officers, InfoSec reviewers, and clinical leadership generally ask in the first conversation. We try to answer it before you have to ask.

Section 508 conformance posture

The clinician dashboard and patient app are architected against WCAG 2.1 AA, which is the technical basis for the Revised Section 508 Standards (effective 2018). A Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT 2.x) is available under NDA for procurement teams that require it.

FedRAMP-aligned architecture

Production hospital deployments use dedicated VPC infrastructure with PHI encryption at the field level, hash-chained audit logs, and tenant isolation via Postgres Row-Level Security. Formal FedRAMP Moderate authorization is on the post-pilot roadmap; pre-authorization deployments operate under a customer-issued ATO (Authority to Operate) where the customer accepts the residual risk.

Federal Ceiling Price awareness (38 USC §8126)

Our Enterprise Treatment Formulary is benchmarked to CMS and reference hospital billing schedules. For VA, DoD, USCG, and PHS — the "Big 4" federal payers under 38 USC §8126 — pricing aligns with Medicare fee-schedule equivalents and is negotiated in compliance with FCP and Most-Favored-Customer requirements where applicable.

Community Care Network as a near-term on-ramp

Before full VA-system contracting matures, eligible veterans can access the platform through Community Care Network (CCN) providers under the MISSION Act framework. The supervising community provider remains the prescribing clinician; BrainMeBack is the structured-exercise delivery layer.

Where the platform fits in the VA cognitive-rehab pathway

BrainMeBack augments — never replaces — the work of speech-language pathologists, neuropsychologists, occupational and physical therapists, and rehab physicians inside the VA Polytrauma System of Care and at community partner sites. We extend the dose of structured, supervised practice between in-person sessions so the supervising clinician's plan actually gets the hours of repetition the evidence supports. Sessions can run on the veteran's own device between visits, or supervised in the clinic — at a VAMC or community-care site — for an intake baseline or for veterans who do not have a device at home. Every session feeds the same clinician dashboard.

TBI cognitive rehabilitation — severity-gated to Rancho Los Amigos, prescribed in modules and protocols by the supervising clinician
PTSD-associated cognitive symptoms — attention, working memory, and emotion-recognition components, always under behavioral-health supervision and escalation protocols
Stroke recovery — post-acute and chronic-phase cognitive and motor modules, with Rancho-level difficulty capping
MCI / mild cognitive impairment — clinician-prescribed maintenance dosing with step-down pricing for long-horizon use

BrainMeBack is intended to operate consistent with the FDA CDS exemption under §3060 of the 21st Century Cures Act. Not a digital therapeutic, not an FDA-cleared medical device, not a substitute for clinical judgment.
