The evidence behind the check.

Larch is built on research led by neurologist A/Prof. Jane Alty, which showed that hand movement tracks cognitive change years before symptoms appear.

The method

Two minutes of movement, read against yourself.

01. Record

Short movement tasks

The person completes a short set of guided tasks, such as finger tapping, in front of the camera on the phone or computer they already own. No clinic, specialist or extra equipment is needed.

02. Measure

Millisecond precision

Computer vision tracks the hand through each task, and AI models extract motor, speech and cognitive signals timed beyond what any human observer can register.

03. Compare

A personal baseline

The first check sets a baseline. Each later result is compared only with that person’s own earlier readings, so a small change becomes visible over time.
