Inside MEI Micro's mission to bring military-grade sensors to healthcare

What if the sensor in your wearable is the limiting factor in what it can tell you about your health? StartUp Health member Louis Ross, CEO & Founder of MEI Micro, joins Logan Plaster to unpack the science behind digital biomarkers – and why he believes most wearables are trying to make up for cheap sensors with software.

Ross traces MEI Micro's path from military-grade motion sensing to a five-and-a-half-year effort to manufacture navigation-grade sensors at commercial scale, and explains the real-world stakes: better data means better predictive analytics, whether that's flagging an athlete's injury risk or catching early signs of dementia years before symptoms appear.

Listen for a candid look at where sensor technology is headed – and how MEI Micro is investing in the founders building on top of it.
