Often on the podcast there’s conversations about emerging technologies that are shaping the future of health and wellness alongside the data that is necessary to continue building and linking the connectedness of health technologies which will enable a future that starts to be more aligned to the longevity and preventive aspects of wellness. In order to move in this direction, it becomes important to highlight technologies that are being developed for specific areas of practice as well as leading conversations around how these innovations will enter our day to day lives.
In today’s episode, we’re continuing a series focused on brain health and neuro-tech while also starting a new conversation centered around sports related technologies and how they benefit athletes at all levels.

This episode’s guest is Grenville Thynne, Finance Executive, Medical Device Entrepreneur, Co-Founder and CEO of NeuroFlex.
The NeuroFlex device measures and monitors the impact of a head knock using eye and head tracking virtual reality technology. The technology has been used by a variety of professional and collegiate sports teams and organizations while maintaining a grassroots approach to promoting brain health for athletes at all levels.
The ability to detect brain injuries during athletic competition is critical to ensuring the safety of athletes, and, more broadly, the monitoring of brain health is increasingly becoming mainstream for a variety of use cases. For example, NeuroFlex has been used on patients with Mild Traumatic Brain Injuries (mTBI) who seek treatment at Emergency Departments (ED/ER) and clinics. The broader implications of the technology are strongly tied to brain health and neuro-development with the overarching mission of “brain health for life”.
Listen in with us as we explore the evolving practice of neuro-technology and how innovations will continue to promote brain health for life while expanding the boundaries of human potential.
Other topics range from how brain health is increasingly becoming a part of routine examinations, to why the open source sharing of brain data is important to neuro-tech innovation, to the future of sports safety rooted in brain health as a key pillar.
