Micha has an unusual background and history who thought he would be a novelist but found his way into serial entrepreneurship successfully launching Chorus.AI, a company focused on analyzing conversation unlocking the hidden dimension of insight found in every interaction we have with others.
Thanks to this background and meeting his co-founder he formed a company that is determined to bring science and objective measurement to the world of neurology. As he (and I) both agree
As Micha points out with over 1 billion people worldwide suffering from neurological disorders like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s but those diagnoses and treatments fall in the shadow of subjective assessments that suffer from wide variability and even intra and inter-rater variability making real progress difficult to achieve and even harder to measure.
Listen in to hear how there is a better way, one that might allow for easier more accurate diagnosis of neurological diseases and offer tools to assess the efficacy of therapies accurately by digitizing neurology with oculometric measures from facial videos captured with a standard webcam or smartphone and using AI to accelerate clinical trials and drug development and improve patient outcomes.
