This episode is sponsored by MD&M Trade Shows as their Silicon Valley MEDevice event is coming up on November 19-20 in Santa Clara. Register here: https://utm.guru/ujfQ2In this episode of The State of MedTech, Omar M. Khateeb is joined by Carolina Aguilar, CEO and Co-Founder of InBrain NeuroElectrics, a company pioneering breakthroughs in brain-computer interfaces (BCI) and graphene-based neural technology.In this fascinating discussion, Carolina delves into the revolutionary potential of graphene in brain health, its biocompatibility, and its ability to decode and modulate the brain at micro-precision. Discover how this BCI therapeutic approach could transform treatments for Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, and other neurological conditions.Episode Breakdown: 00:00 - Introduction: AI, Patient Care, and the Future of MedTech00:47 - Welcoming Carolina Aguilar, CEO of InBrain Neural Electrics01:04 - The Innovation Behind In Brain: Leveraging Graphene01:58 - Carolina's Background: From Pharmacy to Virginia Tech Neuroscience03:07 - The Career Pivot: Cosmetics, Medtronic, and Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)03:53 - Insights on Parkinson's and Pesticides05:45 - The Founding Story of In Brain: Transition from Medtronic07:05 - The Need for Transformative Tech: Why DBS is Only 60-80% Effective08:15 - Why Graphene?
