The Brain Knows How to Heal, Medicine Just Hasn’t Caught Up with Dr. Leo Petrossian
In this episode of Crux of Neuro, host Liz Moyles is joined by Dr. Leo Petrossian, CEO of Kandu, Inc. the company formed from the merger of Neurolutions and Kandu Health. Leo has spent over 20 years at the intersection of neurotech and clinical care, and under his leadership, Neurolutions secured FDA breakthrough clearance for the IpsiHand®: the first non-invasive, at-home brain-computer interface for stroke rehabilitation. He also navigated the first BCI-specific CMS billing code and led a randomised controlled trial that was stopped early for efficacy. In this conversation, Leo and Liz cover the systemic failures in post-stroke care, the science behind the IpsiHand®, the brutal realities of getting novel devices covered by insurance, and what it will take to give 8 million stroke survivors in the US a real shot at recovery.
