Craig Mermel: Selling Science Fiction

Brain-computer interfaces allow people with neurological diseases to control external devices, such as a robotic arm, using their minds alone. While the technology has existed for over twenty years, it has only recently moved into mainstream medical practice. 

A company called Precision Neuroscience is pioneering this transition. Precision President and Chief Product Officer Craig Mermel understands that commercializing the technology means first making it safe, minimally invasive, and adaptable to fit the varying needs of neurological patients. 

From engineering the first-ever Apple Watch to conducting digital pathology research at Google, Craig has always favored the intersection of technology and healthcare. He’s with us today to discuss his journey into Healthtech and the life-changing medical devices he’s since created.
