BlinkLab, a company founded by neuroscientists at Princeton University over the past several years, has fully developed a smartphone based diagnostic platform for autism, ADHD, schizophrenia, and other neurodevelopmental conditions. Our most advanced product is an autism diagnostic test that leverages the power of smartphones, AI and machine learning to deliver screening tests specifically designed for children as young as 18 months old.

This marks a significant advancement, considering traditional diagnoses typically occur around five years of age, often missing the crucial early window for effective intervention. BlinkLab is led by an experienced management team and directors, with a proven track record in building companies and vast knowledge in digital healthcare, computer vision, AI and machine learning. Our Scientific Advisory Board consists of leading experts in the field of autism and brain development allowing us to bridge the most advanced technological innovations with groundbreaking scientific research.

  • Dr. Hendrikus Johannes Boele | CEO

    Dr. Hendrikus Johannes Boele is an assistant professor at the Department of Neuroscience at Erasmus University Medical Centre, a visiting researcher at Princeton Neuroscience Institute, and the CEO of the Company. Dr Boele obtained his PhD (cum laude) in 2014 at the Department of Neuroscience, Erasmus University Medical Centre. His PhD research was focusing on the neural mechanisms underlying associative and motor learning. After he obtained his Medical Degree at Erasmus Medical Centre in 2018, he started his post-doctoral fellowship at Princeton University in the laboratory of Samuel S.-H. Wang, where he was working on brain development and autism. Dr Boele has always been pushing scientific and methodological boundaries, which were awarded over the last five years with over $3.5M USD in funding from top-tier institutes (Princeton University, Erasmus MC), the Dutch Research Counsel, the European Research Counsel, the New Jersey Autism Center for Excellence and prestigious Vidi grant (received in May 2023). Together with his colleague S.K.E. Koekkoek, he has drastically improved the experimental procedures for eyeblink conditioning. In 2018, Dr Boele together with other co-founders of the Company, completed development of the first version of the neurometric testing smart phonebased application. In 2020 the medical application was awarded funding from Princeton Accelerator fund and successfully completed first pilot study in humans. As the initiator and founder of BlinkLab, it is Dr Boele’s strong ambition to bridge the gap between fundamental knowledge of neural processes and clinical application, with a utility that could effectively enhance diagnostics in patients with neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric disorders.
