For episode 117 we're learning from the best of
the best companies that intersect at the crossroads
for the future of health and wellness
technology.
This is a topic we’ve explored over the past 100+ shows
on Wellness Force Radio, but for 117 we’re going the deepest we’ve
ever gone to address the most important question
around this type of technology, much more important than just
technology itself:
How exactly can health and wellness
technology including apps, wearables, smart garments, and
smart devices truly help us get more physically and emotionally
intelligent so we can live life well?
This is a big question that will affect not just
national, but global health, so this deserves some
big answers. That’s why today on the podcast
we're bringing you not just one, but three doctors
and industry experts in the fields of smart garments,
with Dr. Tim Brown, founder of
IntelliSkin, in
brain neuroplasticity and neuropriming, with Dr. Daniel
Chao, Co-Founder of
Halo Neuroscience, and how
the future of doctors will care for patients at home is
actually here right now, with Dr. Renee Dua, Co-Founder
of
Heal.
If you’re a tech-focused wellness enthusiast, or if you’re
brand new to exploring how technology can help you in your
wellness journey, you're equally going to love this
episode...
Many of the concepts we’re discussing today are brand-new
to the show, and we've handpicked these guests out of all the
noise online to get clarity on what brands in
wellness technology we can use today that will help
secure better personal wellness for our future.

About Our Featured Guests
Dr. Tim Brown, Founder, IntelliSkin
IntelliSkin inventor, Dr. Tim Brown, grew to understand his
future creation while working as the medical director on the ASP
surf and AVP volleyball tours during the 1980’s. As an early
innovator in functional taping, he developed a hybrid kinesiology
technique known as SPRT (Specific Proprioceptive Response Taping).
Used on everyone from Olympians to NFL players, the technique
quickly became a staple in the athletic world as it allowed injured
athletes to compete despite their injuries.
Dr. Brown’s instinctive techniques got athletes asking for
taping remedies so often, that he needed something that could do
the job when he wasn’t there. Many late nights of trial and error
using remnants of old wetsuits and rash guards, he devised a
wearable technology that mimicked his taping technique. Dr. Brown’s
goal was to take what he had learned in designing and come up with
a comfortable, Smart Compression shirt that would clinically
improve posture and spinal alignment for everyone, whether you’re
an elite athlete or a weekend warrior. Dr. Brown’s ultimate
goal is to help everybody to look better, feel better and perform
better. He continues to pursue that goal every day.
Daniel Chao is a neurotech entrepreneur, specializing in
devices that improve brain performance. Currently, Dan is
co-founder and CEO of Halo Neuroscience, a venture-backed human
performance company based in San Francisco. The company's first
product, Halo Sport, is the world's first neurostimulation system
built specifically for athletes.
Prior to Halo, Dan was the head of business development at
NeuroPace, where he helped raise $250M in capital to develop the
world's first closed-loop neuromodulation device, winning FDA
approval for the treatment of epilepsy in a unanimous 13-0 vote.
Before NeuroPace, Dan was a consultant at McKinsey & Company in the
New York office, and he received his M.D. and M.S. in neuroscience
from Stanford University.
Renee Dua, Co-Founder, Heal
Dr. Renee Dua is Founder and Chief Medical Officer of Heal –
an LA-based start-up providing on-demand house call medicine. Dr.
Dua is a Board certified nephrologist and internal medicine doctor
who has served as Chief of Medicine at Valley Presbyterian and Simi
Valley Hospital. After building a thriving private practice and
also teaching medicine at UCLA, Dr. Dua embarked on her greatest
adventure, being mom to her first child, a now 15-month old little
boy.
It was her son that led her to create Heal, because she knew
moms and dads everywhere needed an easier way to see a doctor. As a
mom-doctor doing her first start-up, Dr. Dua often jokes she’s a
doctor-mom-preneur. Dr. Dua resides in the Pacific Palisades with
her husband and son.
