We need to understand what stimuli and interventions can result in healthy fetus/ baby development” — Eduardo Briceño, CEO of Mindset Works

Ques­tion: Eduar­do, please share 1–2 major brain health needs you observe right now whose solu­tion demands a cre­ative and sig­nif­i­cant tech-enabled innovation.

Answer: We need to under­stand what stim­uli and inter­ven­tions can result in healthy fetus/ baby devel­op­ment, reduc­ing the per­cent­age of chil­dren devel­op­ing sig­nif­i­cant brain defi­cien­cies and pro­vid­ing means for preg­nant women, par­ents, and health care providers to deliv­er those stim­uli and interventions.

 

Ques­tion: And what advice would you give an entre­pre­neur launch­ing an inno­va­tion to address those needs–for the approach to be suc­cess­ful and sustainable?

Answer: The main thing I’d rec­om­mend is to cul­ti­vate strong part­ner­ships with researchers to devel­op and val­i­date those inter­ven­tions and with allied orga­ni­za­tions to enable scal­ing dis­tri­b­u­tion once the solu­tion is proven to help.
