The Story Behind Our Name: Neurodigits
At Neurodigits, our name is more than a label — it’s a reflection of how we see the connection between people, learning, and technology.
Inspired by “Mind and Hand”
When we were choosing a name, we took inspiration from MIT’s motto, mens et manus, which translates to mind and hand. The motto reflects the idea that education is not just about theory but also about practice — that true learning happens when knowledge is applied to real-world problems.
Mind and Hand, Neuro and Digits
Our name reflects the same spirit:
- Neuro — representing the mind, learning, and the neuroscience of how we grow and adapt.
- Digits — literally the fingers of the hand, the tools through which thought is put into action.
Together, Neurodigits symbolizes the marriage of mind and hand — of human intelligence and practical application — with the goal of creating tools that improve lives in meaningful, everyday ways.
A Founder’s Vision
Neurodigits was founded by Dave, whose journey spans electrical engineering, computer science, neuroscience, drug development, biomedical engineering, information technology, and software engineering. This unique background gave him a broad perspective: the ability to see both the fine details of human cognition and the big picture of how technology can shape behavior at scale.
Dave wanted to do more than collect credentials. He deliberately chose projects where his knowledge could be translated into real solutions — ones that address genuine human challenges and can be scaled to help many people. Neurodigits grew out of this vision: to bridge science and technology in ways that enhance learning, foster healthier digital habits, and create tools that make a lasting impact.
A Commitment to Practical Innovation
Just as MIT’s founders promoted education for practical use, our mission is to design tools that don’t just exist for their own sake, but truly help families, learners, and communities!
