HITLAB Partner Rewire DTX Secures Bridge Financing, Accelerates Clinical Readiness, and Expands Senior Leadership

February 9, 2026
New York, NY – February 9, 2026 — HITLAB today announced that its partner Rewire DTX, a digital therapeutics company advancing game-based cognitive interventions for depression, has successfully closed a bridge financing round, marking a pivotal step toward clinical deployment and scale. The funding provides Rewire DTX with critical runway to advance product development, complete key clinical validation milestones and prepare for pilot deployments with healthcare partners. The round reflects growing confidence in Rewire’s differentiated scientific approach to measuring and modifying depressive cognitive patterns through adaptive gameplay. As part of this next phase of growth, Rewire DTX has appointed Dr. Austin Peck as Director of Product. Dr. Peck brings deep experience translating complex technical and cognitive systems into scalable, user-centered products. He will lead product strategy, roadmap execution, and cross-functional integration as Rewire transitions from advanced prototype to pilot-ready digital therapeutic. “This bridge round is a meaningful inflection point for Rewire DTX,” said Nejeed Kassam, CEO and Co-Founder. “It enables us to sustain momentum while we convert cognitive modeling research into a clinically grounded, scalable therapeutic platform. With this capital, we are positioned to move decisively toward real-world deployment.”

Advancing Scientific Validation and Personalized Digital Therapeutics

Rewire DTX has also achieved significant scientific and product validation milestones through its Cognitive Modeling Lab partnership at Carleton University, led by Dr. Rob West. Early findings support the company’s core hypothesis: that gameplay-derived cognitive signals can be reliably mapped to depressive cognitive patterns and dynamically targeted through adaptive in-game mechanics.

These results reinforce Rewire’s ability to deliver personalized interventions based on observable cognitive behavior, a foundational capability for next-generation digital therapeutics. Ongoing prototype validation has further demonstrated strong alignment between targeted cognitive skills and actual user behavior—providing confidence as Rewire advances toward pilot-ready builds.

Advancing Scientific Validation and Personalized Digital Therapeutics

In parallel, Rewire DTX announced the addition of Dr. Andreea Diaconescu to its Advisory Board. Dr. Diaconescu is a recognized expert in cognitive and computational neuroscience, with deep experience applying cognitive models to psychiatric disorders. She will support Rewire’s clinical development strategy as the company prepares for pilot studies and future regulatory pathways.

HITLAB congratulates Rewire DTX on reaching these milestones and looks forward to continued collaboration as the company advances evidence-based innovation in digital mental health.
