What I Do I am the Founder and CEO of a small company which is developing critically needed medical monitors for early detection and prediction of health problems before they become serious and even before the individual becomes symptomatic. The company focus is on changing healthcare form reactive to predictive, preventive, and person-centered.
Why Engineering? I wanted to take all that I have learned throughout my career and focus on a related field (healthcare) which builds in my engineering background and address a new, important problem - effectively and efficiently improving healthcare outcomes for a broad population.
