Through serendipity, my career focus has been on developing noninvasive and nonharmful technologies and deploying the ensuing biomarkers for health monitoring. Over the past few years, these efforts have been furthered towards rethinking and designing digital health solutions to address current challenges in remote monitoring of chronic conditions. Pericycle Inc. was founded to develop such solutions to bridge the existing gulf between the clinic and the home. My prior experience includes fund-raising, designing, leading and implementing hardware and software initiatives in several consumer wellness and healthcare domains. I have collaborated with and managed over 75 engineering team members (electrical, mechanical, firmware, software, quality, product verification and validation, reliability, plastics, cloud computing, industrial design, component and tooling) across 20+ consumer and healthcare device projects valued at $23.8 MM in total in well-regulated ISO 9001 certified facilities in US and China. Select examples of leading and realizing past commercially viable healthcare innovations include: o World’s first wireless, rechargeable, fully flex PCBA wearable smart ring with integrated 2-digit, 7-segment LED display utilizing oxygen saturation (transmission photoplethysmography (PPG)), temperature and activity monitoring for several health and intensive care use cases. o World’s first on body wearable patch utilizing non-coplanar ECG printed electrodes, oximetry monitoring, temperature sensing and activity monitoring with an OLED display layer for health and trauma use cases. o Silicone over molded bio-sensing wearable wristband (direct low temperature cure silicone over molding of assembled printed circuit boards) for monitoring ECG, reflection PPG, oxygen saturation and activity. o World’s first on-body, fully disposable wearable patch with integrated inkjet printed electrodes for monitoring ECG, heart rate, heart rate variability and activity. Debuted at CES 2018. o Wireless MRI signal processing solution for Tx & Rx clock asynchronization issues circumventing conventional hardware solutions in excess of $100K. o Low-pass and high-pass quadrature birdcage wrist RF coils for 3.0 Tesla and 7.0 Tesla MRI (Total commercial value: $120K).
