Summary
StartUp Health community member Louis Ross, CEO & Founder of MEI Micro, joins Logan Plaster to explain how navigation-grade motion sensors – originally built for military and aerospace use – are finding their way into healthcare. Ross breaks down how his company's 3DS process delivers sensor accuracy 80 to 100 times greater than consumer-grade wearables, and why that precision matters for predictive analytics, from detecting concussions to catching early signs of cognitive decline.
Ross also shares how MEI Micro is building a fund to invest in and partner with other companies pushing this technology forward.
