At age 24, I hurt myself playing basketball. What I assumed was a routine injury turned into three years of back pain so severe that I couldn’t walk more than 10 minutes. All the traditional treatments like physical therapy and medications gave me little relief. Turns out, I was not alone — 50 million americans experience pain every single day. The mental toll is equivalent to having cancer. 30 years of research show that pain is created in the brain and nervous system. (No, it’s not in anyone’s head, it’s 100% real). Leading pain doctors and neuroscientists have discovered proven ways to calm the pain system and give people their life back. This talk will discuss the latest science of pain and how Remedy Health’s digital therapeutic is changing treatment. My background is in product management and building digital therapies to target disease.
