MIT Solve Addresses Mental Health and Other Challenges


The creative director of Tribal Truth Media, James Ferrari also founded the Benjamin James East Corporation in 1993 to provide rental and marketing services for the condo industry. Alongside his entrepreneurial efforts, James Ferrari encourages innovative endeavors through contributions to groups such as MIT Solve.

Since its founding in 2015, MIT Solve has sought to discover solutions through technological innovation. As part of this mission, the organization proposes specific questions in a diverse range of fields. For example, recently Solve posed the following question in the field of brain health:

“How can every person improve their brain health and mental resilience?”

This challenge focuses on the increasingly important issue of mental health and cognitive function. It opened in May of 2017 and evaluation of the submitted solutions began in August. Final voting concluded on September 16th, followed the next day by the Solve Challenge Finals in New York City.
