Catalyst Robotics, Co-Founder
April 2021 - Current
We are building autonomous mobile health clinics that bring self-service healthcare screenings directly to patients. At Catalyst, I primarily create systems and develop software for two projects - (1) autonomous perception and navigation and (2) non-invasive face scan to check pulse, body temperature, and other health metrics. We are seeking investors and pilot programs with hospitals.
