In this week’s episode, host Mike Moore sits down with Micha Breakstone, Co-Founder & CEO of Neuralight, a venture whose mission is to digitize evaluation and care to transform the lives of billions of people impacted by neurological disorders.One of the problems that neurology is facing today is the lack of a way to diagnose and measure the disease itself. Diagnosing and treating patients with neurological disorders have become more of a clinical art and less science.Neuralight, with its machine-learning software program, aims to solve these challenges with the help of biomarkers from a simple video captured by a web or phone camera.Today, Mike and Micha discuss how Neuralight started, the company’s mission of digitizing neurology, and how their software is being used to attain hardware capabilities.Notable Quotes“When we founded the company, we decided to build it on three values. One is, we're on an urgent mission, so we're looking for people and building a team that really is dedicated to what we're doing, and really wants to make a real dent in the world. The second one to balance that out is enjoying the rides, having a good time while doing so. And the third is just psychological safety. Allowing people to bring the best version of themselves and really be themselves and never have to worry that they'll be dismissed, or ridiculed, or admonished quickly.” - Micha (30:34)In This Episode(02:58) The state of neurology today(03:52) You can’t improve what you can’t measure(05:50) The cause of misdiagnosis(09:39) What Neuralight aims to solve in neurology(13:35) Getting a breakthrough designation and surrogate endpoint(17:30) An overview of the software Neuralight is building(25:58) Helping pharma companies with drug development(27:57) How Neuralight started(32:21) Neuralight’s first commercial contract with a pharma company(33:05) Defining Neuralight’s customersOur GuestMicha Breakstone is the CEO and Co-Founder of Neuralight.
