AI Supported Sock to Kill Diabetic Neuropathy Pain and Regain Balance: Dr. Greta Preatoni, MYNERVA

X-Health.show - meet the future of healthcare

Another silent killer on the X-Health.show: diabetic neuropathy.
Undetected in too many instances.
Slowly taking away the balance. Implementing pain.
Starting at the feet and unstoppable, if not treated.
In this episode, you’ll hear about

• diabetic neuropathy and diabetic neuropathic pain
• the millions of people it concerns
• why the current treatment is simply not enough
• what change wearing a smart sock for 20 minutes brings
• and all these nerves connected to the brain involved in walking

My guest today is Dr. Greta Preatoni, the CEO of MYNERVA. She’s both a neuroscientist and a neuroengineer who did her research in diabetic neuropathy. She can awesomely speak about the neural pathways involved in sensing and movement.
MYNERVA is an early-stage Swiss startup, a spin-off from the ETH, Zurich. They develop a pleasant, as they emphasize, non-invasive nerve stimulation device for people with diabetic neuropathy to kill pain and walk without problems.
