About Robert A.

Dr. Robert Andosca, Ph.D., is a pioneering innovator and serial entrepreneur in the fields of wearable health technology and MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) sensor and energy harvester design. As a co-founder and CEO/CTO of INVIZA® Health, Dr. Andosca has led the development of cutting-edge, self-charging medical-grade smart insoles that monitor critical vital signs and offer health, fitness, and safety monitoring solutions for diverse sectors, including healthcare and defense/healthcare within the military. With a strong commitment to making a positive impact, he has built INVIZA Health to address challenges in patient care, remote monitoring, fitness monitoring, and personal safety monitoring through advanced sensors and AI/machine learning technologies that support Hospital-at-Home programs, assisted living facilities, rural health care, and the military and VA hospitals.Dr. Andosca holds a Ph.D./M.S. Materials Science/ Electrical Engineering and Physics, focusing on piezoMEMS energy harvesting and sensor technologies, with his research contributing to the design of efficient energy scavenging systems. His Ph.D. dissertation resulted in a journal article published in *Sensors and Actuators A* in 2012, which became a ScienceDirect Top 25 paper and has been cited in over 214 peer-reviewed scientific publications, establishing him as a respected figure in the scientific community.Known for his dedication, persistence and resilience, Dr. Andosca (and his co-founders) have self-funded INVIZA® Health and sacrificed a substantial salary to ensure the company’s growth and stability. His commitment has not only been due to potential financial gain but deeply personal one [for instance, his 80yo mother has Lupus and falls a lot; his "second-mother" died of COVID-19 in 2020; his PhD advisor died of Lewy Body Dementia in 2022; two dear friends have Alzheimer's and two have Parkinson's (one died in 2023), and a couple became lost while hiking and the woman died of hypothermia; many are overweight or obese; and more health, fitness, and safety issues that could be helped using INVIZA's RPM/DTx platform], reflecting his drive to improve lives and enhance healthcare. Additionally, his work has been recognized with awards, including the Excellence in Healthcare award at the Health 2.0 conference in Dubai, where he will showcase INVIZA Health’s technology alongside his team.Dr. Andosca’s work continues to bridge the gap between medical technology and everyday health needs, making him a key influencer in wearable healthcare and digital health innovation.

We developed the "cube" (54 DRAM die stacked; die-level wiring re-routed to die edge; leads bussed together on side of cube) technology from concept through low volume production. This was the most difficult job I had, yet I learned the most from the IBM team. Significant design for manufacturability skills were gained during my tenure with the Irvine Sensors/ IBM partnership.RESPONSIBILITIES: Photolithography engineer. Design for manufacturability (DFM) implemented. Implemented and coordinated IBM's Enhanced Tool Support System (ETSS) in cube manufacturing line for Six-Sigma statistical process control (SPC).SPECIAL NOTE: In December 1999, Space Shuttle Servicing Mission 3A replaced reel-to-reel tape recorder units on the Hubble Space Telescope with a next-generation solid-state recorder (SSR) using memory cubes from Irvine Sensors/ IBM. The SSR allowed efficient handling of high-volume data having room for 10 times as much data as the previous one.See http://www.spacetelescope.org/about/history/servicing_mission_3a/
