Neurovus
Recovery Intelligence for First Responders.
Join the pilot that proves it works.
Most mental health systems activate at crisis.
Neurovus activates at drift, surfacing changes in your recovery patterns before you feel them yourself, then guiding the recovery before it gets there.
Not therapy. Not a hotline. Recovery intelligence.

We never send your raw biometric data anywhere.
What we retain is a pattern, not a stream.
Your wearable collects your biometric data. Oura holds Oura data. WHOOP holds WHOOP data. Neurovus reads the shape of the pattern those platforms already generate: specifically HRV and recovery trend drift measured against your own rolling baseline. Not a population average. Not a clinical threshold. Yours.
When your recovery patterns drift from your personal baseline, NAVI reflects that back to you. Not to your chief. Not to HR. Not to anyone in your chain of command. To you.
If you decide you want to talk to someone, Neurovus makes that connection available. You choose who. You initiate it. You control what happens next.
That is the whole architecture. Your raw data never reaches your department, your command, or our AI. What we retain is a pattern. The decision stays where it belongs: with you.
-
Your raw biometric data never leaves your wearable platformYour wearable's readings are processed inside our systems. What we retain is a pattern, not a raw stream. Your department never sees your individual data. Our AI provider never sees your wearable data at all.
-
We do not predict, diagnose, or treatWe observe drift in HRV and recovery patterns according to the Gumá Method. No clinical risk scores. No diagnostic labels. No career consequences.
-
We do not notify anyoneYou do. On your terms. To the person in your own network that you chose before you ever needed them. No flag goes to command. No report lands on a chief’s desk.
-
All decisions belong to the userEvery time. This was not a design constraint we worked around. It was the design. The user is in control of every decision in the sequence.
Infrastructure for the gap
nobody closes.
Every major system built for first responder mental health waits for the same moment: the one where someone finally says they're not okay.
Adoption in high-stress populations comes down to four things: trust, speed, privacy, and whether the tool feels useful without feeling intrusive. Every design decision Neurovus makes starts there.
By that point, the drift has been building for weeks. The behavioral signals were there. The biometric data was moving. Nobody was watching.
Neurovus sits in that gap. It reads sleep trends, HRV patterns, mood trajectories, and behavioral signals from data your wearable already generates, quietly, continuously, without clinical labeling. When patterns shift, the platform surfaces that information to the one person who is always authorized to act on it: you.
No diagnosis. No surveillance. No algorithm making decisions about people's careers. Infrastructure. The kind that shows up before the breakdown does.

01
Non-diagnostic awarenessPattern recognition without clinical labels, flags, or career risk. No one gets categorized. No one gets flagged.
-
02
14-day trajectory, not a snapshotDirection matters more than a single data point. Neurovus tracks where you've been heading, not just where you are today.

The user decides. Every time.NAVI reflects drift back to you. If you want to reach out to someone, Neurovus makes that possible. You choose who. You initiate it. Nothing happens without you.
-
04
Privacy by architectureIndividual data belongs to the individual. Leadership sees only anonymous aggregates. HIPAA and GDPR compliant, not as a policy, as the structure.
Five capabilities.
One purpose.
Neurovus doesn't replace your peer support team. It gives them earlier information, and gives every first responder a clearer picture of where they're headed before they feel it themselves.
Recovery Built for
How You Actually Live
When patterns shift, Neurovus delivers targeted recovery guidance, breathwork, grounding, sleep protocols, timed to your data. Not a generic wellness plan. Practical tools sized for the gap between calls.
Your Body Keeps Score
Before You Do
Connect your wearable, Apple Watch, Oura, Garmin, WHOOP, and Neurovus reads what your body records before your mind registers it. HRV dips. Resting heart rate climbs. Sleep fragments. Single-day noise becomes two-week signal.
Pattern Awareness,
Not Diagnosis
Neurovus monitors behavioral signals over a 14-day rolling window, sleep trends, mood check-ins, engagement patterns, and shows direction, not diagnosis. Not what's wrong. Where you've been heading.
Department Visibility
Without Surveillance
Leadership gets what they've never had: aggregate stress trends across the department, with zero individual data exposure. Seasonal load patterns. Shift-related recovery deficits. Anonymous. Non-punitive. Actionable.
Three Layers of Human Oversight.
Not Optional. Architectural.
AI detects patterns. It does not escalate, notify, or act alone. Three explicit human authorizations stand between any signal and any action. Your data cannot be used against you. That is not a policy. It is the architecture.
Built different.
For a reason.
Every system built for first responder mental health was designed for the moment someone finally speaks up. Neurovus was built for the period before that moment, and for guiding what happens next.
First responders, veterans, and clinical professionals share something most wellness tools miss. They perform under pressure, absorb stress over time, and delay help until the load has already become significant. Neurovus was built for that specific gap, not adapted from a general workforce product.
The neurological research behind Neurovus is led by Marie Gumá, MS, NCIT, creator of the Gumá Method™ and author of the Clinical Recommendation Protocol for the NADF. Her framework, built on a decade of embedded practice with firefighters, EMTs, law enforcement, and dispatchers, is the scientific foundation that separates Neurovus from every general wellness platform on the market.
It activates at drift, not crisis.
By the time someone says they're burned out, the pattern has been building for months. Neurovus surfaces changes in physiological recovery before you recognize or report them, and delivers recovery guidance before the breakdown, not just a warning after it starts.
It respects the culture.
No clinical labels. No mandatory disclosure. No individual data visible to command. Built for strength and autonomy, not despite first responder culture. Because of it.
You decide. Always.
NAVI shows you your recovery pattern. You decide what to do with it. If you choose to reach out to someone, Neurovus makes that possible. You pick who. You initiate it. The platform cannot notify anyone on your behalf. Ever.
It measures movement, not moments.
A low HRV on one day is noise. A 14-day downward trajectory is a signal. Neurovus is built to tell the difference, and to surface it before it becomes a crisis, a leave of absence, or a statistic.
Most departments rely on Employee Assistance Programs that activate only when someone self-reports. Some use general workforce wellness platforms adapted for first responders. None were built to watch the signals before the conversation.
| EAPs / General Wellness Platforms | Neurovus | |
|---|---|---|
| Activation point | Crisis, after someone self-reports | Drift detected in recovery patterns, before you report it |
| Data ownership | Platform stores and controls user biometric data | Raw biometric streams never reach your department or our AI. We retain short-window pattern summaries only. |
| Who gets notified | Automated alerts to supervisors or HR | Nobody. You decide if and who to contact. Always. |
| Recovery guidance | None, or generic wellness content | Data-timed, shift-aware recovery protocols |
| Clinical labeling | Diagnosis-based, creates career risk | Pattern-based, no labels, no flags, no diagnoses |
| Command visibility | Individual data visible to HR or command | Anonymous aggregates only. No individual data ever reaches the department. |
| Culture fit | Built for general workforce, adapted for first responders | Built specifically for first responder culture from day one |
| Measurement | Point-in-time assessments | 14-day rolling trajectory against your personal baseline |
"We have reviewed the concept behind the Neurovus platform, including its emphasis on voluntary participation, non-diagnostic engagement, wearable-informed early awareness, and aggregate, non-identifying department reporting. These design principles align with our priorities and with the privacy and labor considerations essential to firefighter adaptation."
The gap is not a resource problem.
It's a timing problem.
Close the lag. Before it costs a life.
To reduce the lag between stress accumulation and meaningful human engagement, starting with the people who carry the heaviest load. First responders go to work so others don't have to face the worst alone. Neurovus exists so they don't have to face it alone either.
A world where no first responder reaches crisis alone.
A world where the pattern was seen, a person chose to reach out, and the conversation happened earlier. Not because someone finally broke. Because the infrastructure was watching, and someone decided to sit down at the right table at the right time.
Every algorithm Neurovus runs operates within human-defined boundaries. Neurovus retains short-window pattern summaries, not raw biometric streams, not emotional assessments, not individual records your department can access. Your wearable data is processed internally and never transmitted to our AI provider. What the AI receives is a de-identified pattern summary. We do not notify anyone on your behalf. You do. Every decision belongs to the person it came from. This is not policy. It is the architecture. And it will never change, because the trust of the people who use this platform is the only thing that makes it work.
