CTEye develops wearable technology designed to monitor and assess brain health in contact sports.
CTEye has secured pre-seed funding from the Royal College of Art's Design & Innovation S/EIS Fund to advance its brain health monitoring technology for contact sports.
Founded by Georgios Koukoulis, the company builds smart mouthguards equipped with sensors to track impact force, direction, and frequency. This hardware pairs with a mobile application that delivers neurocognitive assessments and tracks recovery metrics for athletes, coaches, and clinicians.
The capital will be used to accelerate the development of the Byte device and its software platform as pilot programmes roll out with professional athletes.
From the founder
"Securing this pre-seed funding from the RCA is a significant milestone for CTEye. It validates our mission to move the conversation beyond simply detecting concussions to proactively preserving long-term brain health and allows us to accelerate the development of our sensor technology and 3D mapping software."

Founder at CTEye
Investor perspective
"We’re thrilled to welcome CTEye to our portfolio. Georgios has identified a profound problem in contact sports, the invisible, cumulative damage to the brain, and addressed it with a solution that blends rigorous biomechanics with user-centric design."
