In this episode of DeviceTalks Weekly, Cognito Therapeutics’ Christian Howell conveys a deep sense of service that brought him to the MedTech industry. Host Tom Salemi talks with Howell about his Navy service, including a mission targeting pirates in the Persian Gulf on Sept. 11, 2001. From there, Howell gained a unique—and faraway—view of the tragic events that changed the world. He carried those lessons into roles at Covidien and Medtronic, where he helped drive Medtronic’s move into value-based healthcare. Howell is now leaning into that same call of service at Cognito Therapeutics, an MIT-launched startup working to prove that lights and sounds can stimulate the brain to slow the onset of dementia. The technology could become a platform for new brain therapeutics. You can learn more about Cognito’s technology at DeviceTalks West, where Chief Medical and Scientific Officer Ralph Kern will sit on a panel.
