About

Having experienced firsthand the impact of Alzheimer’s in my family, and with 25+ years in AI, data science, software development, and a prior career in astrophysics research at Berkeley and Harvard, I recognized a critical opportunity. While new treatments are emerging, most cognitive decline goes unrecognized until it’s too late for early intervention. This is why I founded Dabble Health. We’re transforming how cognitive changes are detected by turning everyday photos into powerful digital biomarkers. Our technology enables detection years earlier than traditional methods—when early treatment matters most. We’re currently validating our approach through clinical partnerships, including a successful pilot study and participation in the recent National Institute on Aging SNAP cohort. With Medicare now reimbursing this type of monitoring and pharmaceutical companies actively seeking better ways to identify patients for new treatments, the demand for early detection is growing. I’m passionate about making early detection accessible to everyone. If you’re interested in cognitive health innovation or want to learn more about our photo-based approach, let’s connect.
