Today, I'm joined by Ariel Garten, co-founder of Muse.

Using clinical-grade EEG technology, Muse’s mental fitness headband tracks brain activity to offer insights on sleep, focus, meditation, and cognitive performance.

In this episode, we discuss making brain health monitoring accessible and actionable.

We also cover:

Defining brain health as consumer metric
Integrating with the preventative health ecosystem
Research partnerships and novel treatment development
