IRegained is startup and social impact venture with a vision of helping patients regain their hand function after a stroke.

Their innovative device called MyHand leverages the principles of neuroplasticity by guiding patients through a series of highly personalized hand exercises that gradually rewire the brain around the affected area.

The device is meant to be used from the comfort of a patient’s home, which enables a more frequent and intense therapy regimen than traditional in-clinic appointments. Personalized, home-based care using an inexpensive device are key features that will broaden access and impact once the MyHand system is fully commercialized.

Check out this short intro to the MyHand System: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOHwq7cNEAg

This was refreshing conversation about post-stroke care, rehabilitation science, innovative med devices and clinical development - we loved this talk and hope you will too!

In this episode we’re joined by Rukia Mire, Madison (Maddy) McBay and Jessica Lunshoff of Tamvoes, a digital health platform empowering individuals with their information and professionals with client management.

At its score, Tamvoes solves the longstanding problem of how to collect, story and easily transfer important and sensitive personal information with people and services you trust. Scaling this solution could reduce huge inefficiencies and prevent hurdles and barriers in the patient journey.

It was great to hear that this could be achieved while also ensuring high standards of data privacy and security, which is crucial part of the success of digital health adoption.

We loved this talk and hope you will too!

In this episode we spoke with Mahshid Yassaei about Tali, an innovative NLP-based information retrieval algorithm that is built for purpose to help clinicians at the point of care.   

Prior to Tali, Mahshid also co-founded Evenset, a custom medical and healthcare software development company focused on helping entrepreneurs and established companies bring innovative ideas to life through a fast-paced, agile software development process.   

Evenset’s clients include startups such as textile computing company Myant, multibillion dollar corporations such as Essity, and government agencies such as Public Health Agency of Canada and the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences (ICES) in Ontario.

We also talked about the team at Tali, the challenges of finding a certain type of talent and Mahshid’s journey immigrating to Canada where she offers a unique perspective.    

We loved this talk and hope you will too!

Wouldn’t it be great to have a team of coaches to help you through your day-to-day life?   

Realizing that people have complex and ever-changing health needs – something that healthcare systems are not well equipped to handle - YourCoach has set out to enable people to improve their health and wellness through a holistic approach and a “squad” of certified coaches.   Health and wellness coaches are becoming an important part of integrated health and wellness teams and are increasingly being recognized by industry bodies. 

Coaches are also getting the attention of trade and non-profit organizations that largely shape the healthcare sector.   

One of the most exciting opportunities here (to me) is that YourCoach has the potential to enhance personalized health and wellness plans, in real-time, through a holistic team of expert certified coaches to essentially any individual. This level of service has historically been reserved for executives who would pay top dollar for teams to help them maintain a high level of performance by managing their exercise, diet, sleep, stress and other facets of health and wellness.   

Stay tuned as they unveil the YourCoach platform and features in 2021. We loved this talk and hope you will too!

Open Orphan is paving the way for the large-scale adoption of “human challenge studies” for vaccine development.

Although this unique study design has been around for over 40 years and has been used to test a variety of vaccines and anti-virals for disease such as, cholera, influenza, asthma and RSV, among many others, the challenge model has recently gained a lot of attention globally due to Open Orphan’s pioneering its use for covid-19.

What’s more, these studies hold potential to supplement, or perhaps one day substitute, traditional phase 2 clinical trials and to be used as part of regulatory decision process for new vaccines.

Considering the current pace and global interest in these advancements, it’s not an overstatement to say that this could be a major leap for all stakeholders involved in supporting global public health through vaccines.

*****

Open Orphan (ORPH) is a publicly traded vaccine-development (CRO) company with offices in London, Dublin, Paris and the Netherlands. Its two main subsidiaries, hVIVO and Venn Life Sciences, are well-established in vaccine testing and regulatory consulting with a combined 50 years of experience servicing among the largest of vaccine manufacturers in the world.

As we learned from speaking with Cathal in this episode, the company has grown tremendously over the last two years and was profitable in Q4 2020, driven by its existing CRO-based services.

Among its several non-core assets is a hugely exciting data repository and analytics platform called Disease in Motion, which is about to be made commercially available to medical device companies (e.g., wearables) and vaccine manufacturers who would like to use its longitudinal disease progression data.

Zied Tayeb, CEO and Samaher Garbaya, COO co-founded two award-winning startups that are poised to bring impactful innovation in both health-tech (Myelin-H) and space tech (Myelin-S).

Their mission statements are:

🏥 🧠 Myelin-H: to allow clinicians to remotely diagnose and monitor the health statuses of their patients anywhere, anytime, regardless of their physical locations.

&

📡 🚀 Myelin-S: to bring neuromorphic computing for in-space autonomy & making new strides in human-robot cooperation in outer space.

Both companies are founded on a software platform created by the co-founders called Body-Mirror that allows controllers (people) to interact with objects via a brain-computer interface.

Their unique solution and value propositions present interesting opportunities. In the health-tech space, this includes diagnosing neurodegenerative diseases, remote disease progression monitoring and potentially even prognosis. In the space-tech space, this includes teleoperating for space exploration, on-orbit servicing and space exploration.

Both companies are well underway in their testing phases, and they are growing their partnerships with key industry players.

We learned a lot about their startup journies and ambitions for the coming years, and we look forward to hearing more about their successes in the next talk.

If you’re passionate about healthcare and space, have a listen and enjoy!
