The Science








The science behind Aromha is built on over 20 years of olfactory research at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School by our co-founder and neurologist, Dr. Mark Albers. We are also backed by $8M+ in National Institute of Health (NIH) grants and have executed multiple successful clinical trials.

Olfactory Dysfunction



Olfactory dysfunction (i.e. the loss of the sense of smell) is increasingly recognized as a significant health concern. Research suggests a strong association between a declining sense of smell and various health issues, including increased mortality, systemic inflammation, and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's.

The Aromha Brain Health Test
Beyond the impact of olfactory dysfunction on quality of life, research suggests a strong link between olfactory decline and cognitive impairment. Aromha offers a scientifically tested non-invasive at-home test for early detection and monitoring of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's.

Dementia Prevention & Intervention



The disparity in early detection of cognitive impairment continues to be a challenge. Furthering the rising burden of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is astounding cost to develop disease-modifying therapies. At the same time stronger evidence is emerging on risk factors contributing to dementia creating a need for timely, equitable, scalable, and sustainable detection approaches.
