Janus Labs

Redefining the animal-human bond

Company details

Animals can’t tell us when something is wrong, so they suffer in silence. Janus is changing that by listening directly to the brain. Founded by neurotech pioneer Peter Freer and led by consumer tech veteran Shaun Westbrook, Janus is the first neural AI platform for pets that decodes brain signals contactlessly—no electrodes, shaving, or sedation. Using patented neuro-sensing technology, it detects invisible signs of illness, pain, stress, and cognitive decline before symptoms appear, empowering early intervention and healthier lives.

Unlike today’s pet trackers that monitor motion or vitals only after problems arise, Janus reveals what pets feel before symptoms show. Designed for everyday pet owners, it brings cutting-edge neuroscience into the home, turning hidden neural patterns into clear insights and actions. Janus is redefining the human–animal bond, creating a future where our dogs and cats aren’t just cared for, but truly understood.
