Video Transcript
My name is Sumeet Maniar and I’m the CEO of WellBrain, and we’re based in Northern California in San Francisco.
We are a digital health, chronic pain management platform that enables physicians and providers and hospital systems to prescribe, if you will, mindfulness and other evidence-based non-opiate modalities to help treat chronic pain and help fight the opiate epidemic.
Basically, we’re an iPad-based solution in the hospital or provider setting. The patient comes in, gets administered some diagnostics, and then gets introduced to some deep breathing exercises to use at home with a smartphone and it’s all physician trackable. And we’ve expanded to offer other types of solutions for providers, such as accelerated pre-auth approval for neurostimulation for third-party medical devices – which is another form of evidence-based non-opiate modality. And the initial results, with respect to our platform, are we’ve shown reductions in patients’ opiate prescriptions, reductions in their pain scores, and also self-reported reductions in emergency room visits. So that’s what WellBrain is about. We are mission-driven as well. And we look to help communities in need with our software, not only selling to hospital systems but also the outpatient as well.
