Unsensible - The Asian Startup Podcast

Dr. Bechara Saab and his journey to measure emotions


Listen Later

Psychiatrists have no objective feedback. Every other field of medicine does. Dr. Bechara Saab left his neuroscience lab at Zurich Psychiatry Hospital to fix that, and the data suggest he's onto something remarkable.

 

In this conversation, Dr. Saab shares how Mobio Interactive is bringing objective measurement to mental healthcare through over 1,000 psychotherapy sessions across seven languages. From proving mindfulness works via smartphone to using fMRI to show exactly which brain regions change with therapy, he's building the tools that clinicians desperately need but never had. We explore his journey from small-town surgeon's son to youngest research intern at Procter & Gamble to principal investigator in Zurich - and why he walked away from academic prestige to tackle the "greatest problem in mental healthcare."
