Created from our proprietary 3D ear scanner, Aware is a custom biometric hearable platform that enables ambulatory longitudinal studies for the brain and a continuous AI backend that can be adapted for specific medical domains. Aware's custom shaped dry electrode sensor array, built within a custom ear phone, can be used for seizure detection, early indicators for Alzheimer's, dementia and Parkinson's, and most uniquely as a drug efficacy platform for pharmaceutical companies.
Sam Kellett, Jr. is the Founder and CEO of Aware. Sam led the development of the world's first custom biometric hearable that remotely monitors the brain. Sam also led the development of the custom biometric hearable enabling technology, the Otoscan and eFit 3D ear scanners. The Otoscan and eFit 3D ear scanners are now the industry standard in the hearing aid and custom in-ear monitor industries.
Before Aware Sam was a successful entrepreneur with years of experience in the hardware and software technology sectors. Sam was founder and CEO of a technology company that he sold to Reed Elsevier. Sam is also an advisory board member at the College of Computing at the Georgia Institute of Technology and was also appointed by the Governor of Georgia to the Jekyll Island Port Authority Board and Public Schools Retirement Pension Board. Sam holds an undergraduate degree from North Carolina State University and holds an MBA from the University of Georgia.
Aware is the world's leading custom biometric hearable platform that remotely monitors the brain for seizure detection and neurodegenerative disorders. Built into a custom earphone and integrated into a machine learning platform, Aware can non-invasively obtain accurate and repeatable brain monitoring EEG signals and a myriad of other biometrics for specific medical domains. Aware is currently providing custom biometric hearables to pharmaceutical companies for their patient trials for new drug development. Aware sells custom biometric hearables to pharmaceutical companies and leading research hospitals, and licenses the entire platform or subsets to large companies. Aware is headquartered in Atlanta, GA with customers and partners from around the world.
