Brain-Computer Interfaces and Mental Focus: My Podcast Interview with Ramses Alcaide of Neurable
On a recent episode of the TechLink Health podcast, I had the chance to speak with Ramses Alcaide, CEO and founder of Neurable, a leading company in the brain-computer interface (BCI) space. Our conversation was a deep dive into how neurotechnology is opening up new possibilities in healthcare, productivity, and mental performance.
These advanced EEG wearables are designed to enhance cognitive focus, promote well-timed mental breaks, and minimize distraction—functions that may be especially relevant for physicians and others facing constant demands on their attention
On a recent episode of the TechLink Health podcast, I had the chance to speak with Ramses Alcaide, CEO and founder of Neurable, a leading company in the brain-computer interface (BCI) space. Our conversation was a deep dive into how neurotechnology is opening up new possibilities in healthcare, productivity, and mental performance. This includes EEG-enabled headsets like the MW75 Neuro, which Ramses is sporting in the picture below.
These advanced EEG wearables are designed to enhance cognitive focus, promote well-timed mental breaks, and minimize distraction—functions that may be especially relevant for physicians and others facing constant demands on their attention. Even a couple of years ago, this might have seemed quite futuristic, but the Neurable headset now has real potential to become a practical tool for managing cognitive load and maintaining well-being.
I was fascinated to learn that the company makes it easy for researchers and tech developers to access the technology, opening up the potential for a wide range of applications. Ramses also described Neurable’s commitment to maintaining users’ privacy, which I believe is crucial for companies developing wearables in this space. Tune in to the podcast to learn more about it!

My Podcast Interview with Rick Sherak of Exogenics
I recently had the pleasure of speaking with Rick Sherak, co-founder of Exokinetics, Inc., for the TechLink Health podcast. It was one of the most thought-provoking conversations I’ve had in a while. In this wide-ranging chat, we explored the story behind the Zeen—a groundbreaking upright mobility device that’s reshaping what’s possible for individuals with limited mobility.

In this wide-ranging chat, we explored the story behind the Zeen—a groundbreaking upright mobility device that’s reshaping what’s possible for individuals with limited mobility.
The Zeen isn’t just a mobility aid; it’s a beautifully engineered fusion of form and function that allows users to glide, stand, and sit with dignity and ease. It’s unlike anything I’ve encountered—and the inspiration behind its creation is just as compelling as the device itself.
Unlike a wheelchair, the Zeen allows eye-level interactions. As a cardiologist, I’ve seen the harms that isolation can cause. The internet is great, but one of the many lessons we learned from Covid-19 is that the value of in-person human contact cannot be overestimated.
While the Zeen may not be the right fit for everyone, for many who are homebound or reliant on others to get around, it offers the potential for meaningful mobility and a degree of independence that may otherwise be out of reach.
Rick’s passion for innovation and helping others is truly contagious. Tune in to this episode anywhere you listen to podcasts, or through the Spotify link below.
My Podcast Interview with Livia Robic of Withings for BeamO
I recently spoke with Livia Robic of Withings about the BeamO device for the TechLink Health podcast. BeamO is designed to help physicians take better care of their patients remotely, and was named one of Time magazine's "Best Inventions of 2024". This was such an interesting and engaging episode, and I can imagine a number of scenarios where this device could make a difference for patients with chronic disease or those recovering from surgery. I’m excited to see what the future holds for BeamO!
