Yesterday, I had the pleasure of attending the Women in Tech Breakfast hosted by Deloitte. Big thank you to Jigna Shah and the Deloitte team for such a wonderful way to meet up with fellow tech founders and executives.

Excellent time being a part of the MaRS Impact Health conference at MaRS Discovery District: an event that brings together innovators across digital health, medical devices and biotech to commercialize new breakthroughs, empower our healthcare workers and improve patient outcomes. I had an opportunity to be a part of a panel discussing founder mental health alongside Edna Chosack, Louise Pichette, and moderated by Sarah Bartnicka from The Peak. I also pitched Roga on the main stage alongside fellow founders: Shalini Gupta, Sakeena Mihar, and Atefeh Zarabadi. #neurotech #healthtech #startup

Hot off the press: At Roga we have created a wearable device designed to reduce intense stress and burnout. Roga offers a science-backed wearable device to reduce brain activity associated with intense stress, paired with an app that provides highly personalized, AI-generated guided meditations and tracking analytics. We are very proud of the engineering that went into crafting our pocket-sized and fashionable form factor that allows stressed out users to get the help they need wherever they are: at home, at work, or on the go. Read more about the development of Roga in this month's addition of ept magazine. https://lnkd.in/g6XynwjK #stress #healthtech #neuroscience
