Ep. 392: Discover your brain power

Guest: Dr. Ryan D’Arcy, President of HealthTech

“Imagine having a positive impact on the brains of a billion people,” says HealthTech President and Chief Scientific Officer Dr. Ryan D’Arcy.

He goes on to say, “That is our bold vision!” The company develops transformative innovations in brain health. One such instrument is the “neurocatch platform, the world’s first deployable, objective and rapid measuring tool of brain function.”

The data collected from the “neurocatch device”, shared with the Centre for Neurology Studies, which is generating quality evidence and mobilizing ground breaking neurological assessments and treatments for use at the Surrey Neuroplasticity Clinic.

All of these medical and life sciences facilities are part of an expanding community of leading-edge research and biomedical companies in Surrey, British Columbia. The growth of life sciences and biomedical companies in the Lower Mainland of BC is turning the region into an internationally recognized centre of excellence.

There are more than 2,000 companies employing more than 18,000 people in an industry valued in the billions of dollars. The industry has expanded by more than 13 per cent in the past four years and it continues to attract international talent and investment.

Stuart McNish invited Dr. Ryan D’Arcy to join him for a Conversation that Matters about his work, why you should care, and what needs to be done to ensure the sector continues to develop.
