A new startup, Global RNA

30. November 2009 by admin.

I recently joined a new start up, Global RNA. The company is developing a home heart monitor to detect the level of atherosclorosis in heart patients. The company has applied for a grant from NIH. The monitor which will interface with a personal computer is a step forward in home diagnostics. It will allow the patients to monitor themselves at home on a daily basis instead of having to go to a clinic on a less frequent basis. This will mean more timely information and quicker response to changes in the patient’s condition.

 Global RNA was started by Dr. Ravi Shankar. Dr Shankar and I go back to my days as an undergrad in electrical engineering at Florida Atlantic University. The company is also going to be involved in health informatics on the web with social media for patients with heart conditions.
