Areas

  • Areas Five fields where Cedar Kestrel applies study design, biostatistics, neuroimaging and model validation, with what we do and do not do in each.
  • Brain Health & Neuroimaging Neuroimaging analysis, brain-age methods and statistics for brain-health and cognition studies, from the analysis plan to figures a reviewer can check.
  • Mental Health & Biomarkers Statistics for mental-health research: imaging and digital biomarkers, sleep and circadian measures, and outcomes reported with their limits.
  • Drug Development & Trial Analytics Trial sample size, imaging and digital biomarker endpoints, and independent model checks for teams developing treatments for brain and age-related disease.
  • Aging, AgeTech & Digital Aging Care Statistics for aging research, care-program evaluation and AgeTech pilots of sensors and wearables, reported with honest limits.
  • Medical Devices & Digital Health Study design and statistics for medical devices, digital tests and health apps: sample size, agreement, reliability and algorithm validation.

Services

  • Services & prices Compare Cedar Kestrel research packages, deliverables, CAD prices, payment terms and what changes the price before a project starts.
  • Study design & biostatistics Analysis plans, sample size, statistical analysis and reviewer responses for health research, from a CAD 495 review to reproducible results.
  • Neuroimaging & brain-age analytics MRI, DTI and PET analysis, brain-age and Brain-PAD methods with quality control and cohort-level interpretation for research teams.
  • ML model validation Independent checks of research machine-learning models: leakage, discrimination, calibration, subgroup performance and external validity.

Insights

  • Insights Methods notes on brain age, sample size and digital test evaluation, a 30-term glossary and company news, filtered by type and area.
  • What Brain-PAD means How brain age is estimated from MRI, why age-bias adjustment matters, how reliable it is, and what a positive Brain-PAD can and cannot say.
  • How many participants? What drives sample size, three worked cases for imaging, reliability and agreement studies, when to simulate, and what grant reviewers look for.
  • Evaluating a digital cognitive test How to evaluate a digital cognitive test: reliability, practice effects, agreement, accuracy, norms, fairness and the medical-device boundary.
  • Glossary Plain definitions of 30 research terms, from Brain-PAD and ICC to tolerance intervals and software as a medical device.
  • Incorporated in Manitoba Cedar Kestrel Applied Sciences Inc. was incorporated in Manitoba on September 10, 2026.
  • Brain health beyond amyloid and tau A research highlight: white matter injury, brain aging, and cognitive decline beyond amyloid/tau.
