What it is
JuneBrain, Inc. is a medical technology company founded in Maryland and headquartered in Baltimore, with team members across the United States. It develops telehealth optical coherence tomography (OCT) devices and AI software designed to monitor neurological and retinal diseases remotely. Its mission starts with neurological disease, using retinal images to track conditions such as multiple sclerosis, with the goal of extending neurology and ophthalmology care to underserved communities. Samantha Scott, PhD, is the founder and CEO.
Products and services
JuneBrain lists two products designed to work together. The Neuro-i SS-OCT is a point-of-care OCT device that pairs accessible imaging with AI-based analysis. The Reading Center provides automated, quantitative analysis of OCT data for clinical research. The company labels its products for investigational use only and not for clinical diagnosis.
Through its 2026 Pilot Program, JuneBrain offers one free analysis of a de-identified OCT volume per organization, run through its JDAe automated segmentation engine, with a sample report returned the next day. Ongoing licenses are priced per seat each year: $6,000 for JDAe automated segmentation, $3,500 for JAM manual correction, or $8,500 for both. Accepted file formats include .E2E, .VOL, .IMG and DICOM OCT exports.
Who it is for
JuneBrain's tools are aimed at clinical researchers, research sites and organizations that collect OCT retinal scans, particularly in neurology and ophthalmology studies. For DMV founders, the company is a peer example of a hardware and AI medtech startup building out of Baltimore, with academic collaborators at Johns Hopkins University, the University of Maryland, Baltimore and Texas A&M University. It is certified as a women-owned small business by WBENC.

Why it matters in the DMV ecosystem
JuneBrain illustrates how Baltimore's university research base feeds medtech startups that combine devices with software. Its partnerships with Johns Hopkins and the University of Maryland, Baltimore, and its participation in regional pitch events, including a People's Choice Award at the Accelerate Breakfast Series in July 2026, reflect the local networks open to early-stage health technology companies in Maryland.
