About WearOptimo 

WearOptimo is a health technology company developing the next generation of wearable medical sensors by leveraging AI to transform the way we approach hydration and biomarker monitoring. WearOptimo’s microwearable is an AI-enhanced, ‘sticker-like’ skin-patch containing sensors which measure data points that today’s typical wearables cannot collect, in a minimally-invasive, pain-free format. The powerful technology platform works by microelectrodes reaching just a hair’s width into the skin, directly detecting key body biosignals/biomarkers, which are then translated – with novel and proprietary AI – into real-time actionable wellness and health insights for the user. WearOptimo’s technology is at the forefront of real-time tech-enabled health monitoring, with its first product aimed at hydration monitoring in elite sports, the military, and industrial sectors where hydration is critical to performance and safety – before broadening out into hydration and biomarker monitoring in clinical care.

WearOptimo is a world-class team, led by biomedical engineer Dr Mark Kendall – a pioneer of the field of microneedles and successful business builder in global healthcare – complemented by a highly distinguished Advisory Board, including: Dr. Robert Langer (co-founder of Moderna), and two participants of this live webinar:  Dr. Douglas E. Williams, Ph.D. – Former EVP of R&D at Biogen; and Dr. Luke Bennett – Former Director of Hintsa Performance.
