OLAI – BUILDING NOW


Wearable Intelligence for overlooked brains. overlooked brain.


Every neurodivergent brain runs on its own rhythm: your cycle, your neurotype, and how they interact.
Olai tracks that in real time, so you can finally work with your brain instead of against it.
Why Olai exists

Women's hormonal cycles produce measurable shifts in brain chemistry, cognition, and physical capacity.

For women with ADHD, autism, and related neurotypes, these rhythms interact with existing neurological patterns in ways that shape focus, energy, and emotional regulation. These interactions have rarely been studied and almost never measured in real time.

Serotonin fluctuates monthly
Hormones alter neurotransmitters
EEG patterns change weekly
Neural networks in flux
Dopamine sensitivity shifts
Falling progesterone
Low estrogen → brain fog
Decades of research, zero tools
Male-dominant datasets
Cycle-blind algorithms
Brain fog dismissed
Emotional regulation cycles
Real-time data missing
One-size-fits-all tracking
Built on incomplete data
Olai exists to change that.

The result is a medical system built on an incomplete picture of human biology.

Clinical Trial Representation

Women make up only 40% of clinical trial participants - despite comprising half the global population. The research baseline was never built forus.

Adverse Drug Reactions

Women experience adverse drug reactions at twice the rate of men across 76 of 86 drugs studied. This is what happens when dosing is calibrated to a body that isn't yours.

Wearables Built For This

Not one consumer wearable accounts for hormonal cycle phase or neurological diversity in its health algorithms. Every insight it gives you was designed for someone else.

Your brain. Your cycle.
Finally visible.

The research linking hormonal cycles to brain state has existed for decades. What has never existed is a tool that translates it, making that science visible, personal, and actionable in real time.

Real-time State Monitoring

Multimodal EEG capture across the brain regions that govern focus, emotion, and cognition.

Hormonal Cycle Intelligence

Hormonal phase data mapped directly to your neural signals — context your brain has always had, now made visible.

Built for Neurodivergent Brains

Algorithms built around ADHD and autistic neurotypes, accounting for the ways neurodivergent brains interact with hormonal shifts differently.

The science

This isn't a theory. It's documented.

The cycling brain

Decades of research show that hormonal cycles shape whole‑brain network dynamics, connectivity, and signal complexity across the month.

Neurodivergence in a cycling system

For people already managing conditions like ADHD and anxiety, these hormone‑linked brain shifts can amplify swings in focus, overwhelm, and emotional regulation from week to week.

Cognition and executive function

Estradiol around ovulation is associated with increased activation in hippocampal and prefrontal regions that support memory, planning, and complex problem‑solving.

The data gap

Most clinical studies, datasets, and algorithms still under‑represent women and rarely model menstrual phase, meaning many digital health tools are trained on male‑dominant or cycle‑blind data.

Emotion and stress reactivity

In the luteal phase, higher progesterone is linked to stronger fronto‑striatal and amygdala responses, altering emotional sensitivity, motivation, and stress and threat processing.

Where Olai comes in

Olai builds directly on this evidence base, translating hormone‑driven changes in brain state into real‑time, cycle‑aware support instead of one‑size‑fits‑all tracking.
