Episode Description

What if the richest data about your health wasn't on your wrist, but in your breath? Sathya Elumalai, CEO & Co-founder of Aidar Health, joins Logan Plaster for a Health Moonshot Update on MouthLab – a handheld device that reads roughly 10 vital signs from a single breath and turns them into a predictive health index.

Sathya explains why he built past the wearable model, how Aidar Health is helping skilled nursing facilities catch chronic kidney disease and COPD earlier, and what CMS's new outcomes-based ACCESS program means for the company's path to billing Medicare directly. He also opens up about the family experience with kidney disease that shaped why he's building this in the first place.

A StartUp Health community member since 2016, Sathya is open to collaborating with others in the ecosystem. Join StartUp Health to connect with him and share your own story.
