@maxmarchione I believe in the consumerization of health as much as you do @maxmarchione, but one thing missing here is making the masses care about their health. It means a change in how health is marketed.

The first sleep specialist we spoke with about our neurostimulation was familiar with the science and effectiveness, but they always come up with excuses for why it might not be safe (immune, respiratory, hormonal). Every safety study comes back as beneficial. They still make excuses.

@sridharfyi Targets aren't in months, it's in proof for next raise. Some things move a lot quicker these days, deep tech/bio/manufacturing can be slower.

@maxmarchione Micro-arousals are a potential problem. What is causing the micro-arousals? This is one of the markers of apnea.
But let's not ignore the micro-architecture of sleep. Slow waves, spindles, k-complexes. Sleep without adequate activity is like going to the gym and not lifting.

@FrancisPSantora That's all the things you don't do, but what sort of startups are you interested to invest in?

[Pete Field @pedalpete]

@Andercot There are two way intersections of bio & compute like @CorticalLabs where the neuron is the compute layer.
The opposite is closed-loop stimulation like we are building at https://t.co/bdh3g9HBIE where the compute improves biological processes.

This is a contratian take. Most see the fragility as weakness. The change is coming is inevitable, our solution is still fragile.
Data and "insights" from wearables doesn't improve health.
Affectables are wearables that directly affect physiology to improve health.

@canva @GuyKawasaki you guys work together, but can you talk about how to make a presentation. Canva AI wasted 3 hours of my life because it can't make a clean presentation. All it needs to do is follow Guy's guidelines. You can't train it on existing decks because they suck!

@maxmarchione They often use science to confuse rather than educate.
It seems the cabal grows and only the next bullshitter is permitted in.

@pmitu Is this some weak B2B thing?
You need to 1000x those numbers

@maxmarchione Weren't they already investing these amounts anyway? $1.2T across 33 companies over 10 years . AVG $31B/year

@HarryStebbings @ouraring And how do you think knowing how many minutes you sleep is going to help?
It's time to stop focusing on sleep duration and prioritise restorative function.
