Research at the boundary of mind and machine
Celue.lab Innovation is a research and development company focused on experimental science at the intersection of artificial intelligence, psychology, and digital health. Formally incorporated in February 2026, the laboratory's roots trace back to 2022 and 2023, when its founding researchers began combining psychological theory with machine learning techniques inside an academic environment — a pairing that was, at the time, unusual in the Brazilian mental health landscape.
What began as a university research group investigating whether computers could detect human emotions from visual cues has grown into a multi-study laboratory conducting investigations spanning psychosocial risk modeling, neuro-oncological AI, and computational epidemiology across 12 countries. The lab's corporate purpose, as registered with the JUCESP, is explicit: experimental research and development in physical and natural sciences, with a focus on artificial intelligence applied to mental health, data science, analytical software development, and digital health technology solutions.
Building instruments that translate complexity into action
The lab works from a clear conviction: the most important problems in mental health — early identification of risk, reduction of diagnostic uncertainty, equitable access to care — are tractable with the right combination of empirical rigor and computational power. Our research does not treat AI as an end in itself, but as a means of making clinical knowledge more precise, more scalable, and more honest about its own limitations.
