    Giving Patients a Voice featuring Dr. Maheen Mausoof Adamson and Catherine Gray, Ep. 508

    Today on the Invest In Her Podcast, host Catherine Gray talks with Dr. Maheen Mausoof Adamson, founder and CEO of Soof Solutions. Dr. Adamson is a clinical professor of neurosurgery at Stanford School of Medicine, a research director for a national women veterans center, and a senior scientist at the VA Palo Alto Healthcare System. Originally from Pakistan, she is a neuroscientist, neuromodulation and neuroimaging expert whose work spans traumatic brain injury, Alzheimer's disease, depression, and pain. With more than 20 years of experience in research and healthcare leadership, she has authored over 100 publications and is a passionate mentor to emerging scientists, physicians, and entrepreneurs—particularly minority women. In this episode, Dr. Adamson shares how her father's stroke and subsequent loss of speech inspired her to create Soof Solutions, a three-app communication platform that allows patients to express their needs through eye and head movements using familiar devices such as an iPad or iPhone. She and Catherine discuss how this accessible technology could improve communication and quality of life for people affected by stroke, aphasia, multiple sclerosis, developmental conditions, and other challenges that limit speech. Dr. Adamson also explores the connections among brain health, mental health, environment, and social support; her research involving veterans and emerging psychedelic therapies; the growing presence of women in neuroscience; and why experienced researchers need strong networks, commercialization knowledge, and investment to turn promising innovations into solutions that reach the people who need them.   Show Her The Money – https://showherthemoneymovie.com She Angel Investors – https://www.sheangelinvestors.com   Follow Us On Social Facebook @sheangelinvestors Twitter (X) @sheangelsinvest Instagram @sheangelinvestors & @catherinegray_investinher LinkedIn @catherinelgray & @sheangels   #InvestInHerPodcast #NikkieKent #RedCloverVC #WomenInVentureCapital #FemaleFounders #WomenInvestors #GenderLensInvesting #VentureCapital #WomenLedStartups #InvestInWomen #WomenInBusiness #FemaleEntrepreneurs #StartupFunding #WomenInFinance #ImpactInvesting #GenerationalWealth #WomensHealthInnovation #SheAngelInvestors #ShowHerTheMoney #EmpoweredWomenEmpowerWomen
