Episode Synopsis

Approximately 2.2 billion people worldwide suffer from vision impairment or blindness, and out of these, at least 1 billion have vision problems that could have been prevented or have yet to be addressed. Among these cases, the primary culprits for global vision impairment and blindness are refractive errors and cataracts. (WHO, 2023)I am joined on this week’s episode with Shivang Dave, CEO and Founder of PlenOptika. Their mission is to advance eye health by innovating optical technology, addressing the bottleneck in vision care through fast and accurate refraction at scale. We discuss the challenges of being a founder in health tech, including the time it takes to develop products, the importance of clinical validation, and the impact of their device in addressing vision problems for millions of people.Connect with us: Neuroute - copilot for clinical trials https://www.neuroute.co/Twitter: https://twitter.com/livialifesLinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/livialifesGuests: https://www.linkedin.com/in/srdave/
