We’ve done many things at home during the pandemic, from work to haircuts. What if healthcare happened at home too? Our guest Andrew Kobylinski, found himself wondering about this in 2020.
Now in 2022, Andrew is the CEO and co-founder of Primary Health. Andrew and his team at Primary Health are working to make healthcare more accessible by making things like COVID-19 testing and vaccination easy. Andrew is also an experienced entrepreneur with 15 years in the health tech industry. This means he has a lot of stories — and a lot of advice.

"Disability is the mother of all invention.” That’s a direct quote from our guest today, Josh Miele. And he would know all about invention and disability — he’s invented YouDescribe, the DVX, the Talking Tactile Pen, TMAP, WearaBraille, and SKDTools (Check here for the SKDTools sonification example parabola dipping below X-axis).
In his current position as Amazon’s principle accessibility developer, he hasn’t slowed down at all. He developed Alexa’s Show and Tell feature as well as VoiceView. Both of these help visually impaired people live independently by using voice-activated technology in the home. This amazing work at Amazon earned him MacArthur fellowship in 2021.

Mental health is a huge topic right now. But often conversations about mental health are mostly about anxiety and depression, not as much about serious illnesses.
That’s why our guest today, Thomas Tsang, is doing what he does. Thomas is the CEO and co-founder of Valera Health, a tele-medecine company helping patients with severe mental illnesses as well as mild ones.
Thomas is also a former Senior Healthcare Advisor to the Governor of Hawaii, and has directed national medical programs. And as someone who came from an unprivileged background, it’s important to Thomas that people have access to essential medical services.
