Services
Diagnostics that meet you where you are
Each bhvMD service is selected to be clinically meaningful and practically approachable — whether imaging happens in the office or assessment continues at home. The key is to establish a baseline, then repeat as often as desired to monitor for changes.
Sleep Profiler
Objective at-home sleep EEG that links sleep quality with cognitive and headache outcomes.
- Measures sleep architecture
- Captures brain activity during sleep
- Completed in the comfort of home
- Informs brain-health conversations
Neuropsych Evaluation
Structured cognitive testing to establish a baseline and track change over time.
- Memory and attention
- Processing speed
- Executive function
- Baseline, then repeat to monitor change
Swoop MRI — in depth
The Hyperfine Swoop system is a portable, low-field MRI designed for point-of-care brain imaging. Patients remain comfortable without entering a traditional enclosed scanner tunnel, and the study uses magnetic fields rather than ionizing radiation.
At bhvMD, Swoop imaging can support brain-volume and volumetric assessment as part of a broader diagnostic conversation with your physician — helping visualize structural context alongside clinical history and other testing.
Sleep Profiler — in depth
Sleep Profiler is an objective at-home sleep EEG study. It measures sleep architecture, sleep quality, and brain activity during sleep — information that can help connect sleep health with cognitive function and headache patterns.
Because the study is completed at home, it captures a more typical night than many in-lab settings, while still providing structured, clinician-reviewed data for your care team.
Neuropsych Evaluation — in depth
Neuropsych evaluation uses structured cognitive and neuropsychological testing to assess domains such as memory, attention, processing speed, and executive function. The key is to establish a baseline, then repeat testing as often as desired so you and your care team can monitor for changes over time.
Findings are interpreted in clinical context — not in isolation — and discussed with you under physician oversight as part of a personalized plan.
