Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My business inspiration is my mother who has Lupus and she falls a lot. My company is dedicated to her and others with sickness and disease. As a PhD scientist and inventor, I’ve always believed breakthrough technologies should not stay in labs—they should reach people. That belief inspired me to found INVIZA® Health. Our mission is to turn everyday movement into meaningful health intelligence—detect sickness, disease, falls and more—enabling people to live better!

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated via my purpose of helping my mother and others I love. Building new technology is challenging, but the idea that our innovations could help people detect disease earlier and live healthier lives keeps me going. As a PhD scientist and entrepreneur, I’m energized by solving difficult problems and turning bold ideas into real-world solutions that can improve millions of lives.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would use the $25,000 to accelerate development of INVIZA® Health’s smart insoles, which transform every step into meaningful health intelligence. The funding would support engineering, testing, and FDA-level clinical validation to help detect health changes and falls. Our mission is to make continuous invizable™ health monitoring—easy-to-use and seamlessly integrated into the background of our lives—plus accessible so all people can live healthier lives!
