Constant Therapy has raised $1.96 million for its mobile-enabled brain rehabilitation offering, according to a regulatory filing, bringing its total funding to date to at least $2.7 million. Existing investors include Boston University, TiE Angels Boston, and serial entrepreneur Andy Palmer.

The Boston-based company has developed a mobile app that provides therapy to patients who have traumatic brain injury, stroke, aphasia, and learning disabilities. It was founded in 2012 by Boston University professor Swathi Kiran, who was head of the Aphasia Research Laboratory. At that time, she noticed that people with cognitive, language, and speech disorders could benefit from a tool that combined technology with communication therapy. She then worked with Veera Anantha, Mahendra Advani, and Ehsan Dadgar to develop mobile versions of existing speech therapy tasks.

Constant Therapy’s solution uses a feature called the NeuroPerformance Engine to create a personalized profile of each person’s strengths and weaknesses. The app then delivers exercises to improve their brain function — there are 58 task categories with more than 60,000 exercises, according to the company. It is available for $19.99 per month, $199.99 per year, or $299.99 for three years.

Among Constant Therapy’s clients are Spaulding Rehabilitation Network, the Stroke Comeback Center, and The MossRehab Aphasia Center.
