<span style="color:blue">Biascope Inc.</span> is a Canadian biotech company specializing in consumer goods such as wearable tech and smartphone applications, established in 2045 by Merridan Sironka. The app utilizes an algorithm and wearable technology, such as EEG earbuds and a smartwatch heart monitor, to detect brain wave activity and heart rate to measure bias. Sironka started developing this technology after constantly witnessing her parents being denied opportunities based on their backgrounds and perceived identities.

Imagine a world in which car crashes could be prevented, school shootings could be eliminated, racism could significantly decline, and we’d feel better about ourselves and have greater capacities for self-respect and feelings of worth. Envision a world in which humans are better able to regulate their emotional and physical wellbeing by the use of an app, downloadable to both smart devices and laptops. Similar to a smart watch, this app monitors heart rate, counts steps, etc. but is also equipped with an AI brain that allows it to detect our subconscious thoughts and emotions. It’ll be able to monitor our brain waves and activity and also pick up signals of developing thoughts of bias, hatred, anger, and the like.

But what about when we lose control? What about when we begin developing unhealthy, biased or racial ideas about others or groups? What about when we give into the pressures of fitting in and lose our senses of self-worth and dignity? What if we could prevent this?
