    Apr 19 2024

    Research suggests that women are more likely to experience joint pain, aching, and stiffness caused by arthritis or arthritic conditions. In fact, evidence suggests that women aged 50 to 60 years may be 3.5 times (350%) more likely to develop CMC osteoarthritis than men in the same age group.

    CEO and co-founder of Grace & Able, Sarah Dillingham, is one such arthritis sufferer. Following a life-changing moment, she decided to tackle the lack of suitable relief products for women. Through building an entire support community, Sarah has connected directly with those experiencing arthritis to offer a customized solution for women.

    The main symptoms of arthritis are joint pain, inflammation, and stiffness, which typically worsen with age. The most common types of arthritis are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Osteoarthritis causes cartilage — the hard, slippery tissue that covers the ends of bones where they form a joint — to break down. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks the joints, beginning with the lining of joints. The main goals of arthritis treatments are to reduce symptoms and improve quality of life.

    In this episode you will learn what it takes to turn from patient to advocate to brand and product leader. Brand authenticity is something many companies aspire to, Sarah’s genuine and respectful approach with customers to truly understand their needs is something that any entrepreneur could learn from. With this universal design approach, she has been able to create value driven relationships to help grow the business. This is definitely a discussion that will leave you informed and inspired.

  • Superior MRI Performance with Ryan McNaughton of Primetaz
    Apr 5 2024

    What are metamaterials and how can they help improve the performance of MRI?? Step forward Ryan Mcnaughton, CEO and co-founder of Primetaz to reveal how their technology is set to dramatically enhance both the quality of imaging but more importantly, offer game-changing time-saving to a process that is seeing significant growing demand.

    MRI has become one of the most important tools for doctors to see inside the body to understand what is happening in disease. MRI shows soft tissues like the brain, the heart, and other muscles and organs. It provides several ways to view the status of the tissue, such as looking at the shape, changes to the structure, blood flow, and inflammation.

    Being able to see inside the body quickly and clearly has led to advanced treatments and longer, healthier lives. Given the every increasing demand for MRI as a flexible imaging technique, many physicians, scientists, and engineers like Ryan continue to develop new ways to see disease earlier, enabling more effective treatments.

    While sharing the mission & motivation behind Primetaz, Ryan reveals insights that many entrepreneurs will readily relate to as well as detailing a vision that will excite both investors, patients, and physicians alike. Turning from engineer or any technical profession to entrepreneur is always a journey, and Ryan’s dedicated approach is sure to leave you inspired and informed.
