Empowering Brain Health

Our Story

ThriveMind Health was founded to fill a critical gap in dementia care: early, proactive support for people with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and early-stage dementia, along with their caregivers and clinicians.

Building on the proven success of behaviour change apps like Noom — which have shown how digital therapeutics can drive lasting health outcomes — ThriveMind is creating a precision digital therapeutic that combines cognitive stimulation, daily living tools, caregiver support, and clinician insights into one accessible platform.

Currently moving from concept to proof of concept, ThriveMind is being co-designed with users, caregivers, and experts to ensure it is trusted, culturally relevant, and practical. Our vision is simple: a digital companion for brain health that helps people live well with cognitive change.

45%

One Million

An estimated one million Australians live with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) — a high-risk stage where up to half may progress to dementia within five years.

Up to 45% of dementia risk is linked to modifiable factors — showing the potential for prevention through proactive health and lifestyle changes.

450,000

Around 450,000 Australians are already living with dementia, with numbers projected to rise sharply as the population ages

The Problem We're Solving

Overcoming Late Diagnoses and Fragmented Care in Cognitive Decline.

Fragmented care systems

Disjointed care leaves families navigating alone, causing stress, inconsistent support, and poorer health outcomes.

Delayed diagnosis

Nearly half of dementia cases are missed early, delaying treatment, support, and better outcomes.

Alongside medications, accessible psychosocial interventions help strengthen wellbeing, independence, and quality of life.

Staying connected helps people with MCI feel supported, valued, and able to thrive every day.

Need for more psychosocial interventions and non-drug treatments
