Excited to share my journey from medicine to medtech, as highlighted in AdvaMed’s article.🔥 A timely reflection on #COPDday and the innovative solutions shaping the future of respiratory health.🫁 https://lnkd.in/gHmkHUQk Cc: Samay, MedTech Innovator, Scott May, Zentynel Frontier Investments, Verna Manty Rodriguez, Master of Translational Medicine - UCB & UCSF, Patrick Brennan, Paul Grand, The Ferolyn Fellowship, National Science Foundation (NSF), NIH SEED, UCSF Rosenman Institute, StartX, Rhonda Shrader, Darren Cooke, Michael "Mick" Farrell, Dustin Bell, PMP, MedTech Color, California Life Sciences (CLS), VentureWell, Phillip Denny, E14 Fund, LSI, Chai Ventures, Springboard Enterprises, Project W.

Today is #COPDday. 😮💨 COPD, a chronic lung disease, tragically claims the lives of 3 million people annually. That’s a staggering 6 lives lost every minute. With each COPD exacerbation, the risk of a heart or lung event, hospitalization, and death increases, that was the case of our founder’s grandmother, Sylvia, who died because her exacerbation was diagnosed too late and couldn’t received early intervention. 💙 Imagine the countless of lives we could save if we could have access to early detection and timely access to multidisciplinary care from the initial stages. We could preserve lung function, alleviate the burden on healthcare systems, and ultimately save millions of lives worldwide. 👩🏻💻 That’s our goal, to create hardware and software to improve COPD diagnosis and management regardless of where you are. So far, we’ve have tested the technology in 400+ people with great results! We urge governments and investors to prioritize COPD in their strategic roadmap by funding more innovation in the respiratory space. Today, 2% goes to respiratory diseases, COPD has a low awareness problem, help us change the status quo by sharing this post with your network.
