JOGO
presented by Sanjai Murali
JOGO Health provides digital therapeutics for neuromuscular conditions:
- Stroke Recovery (Dystonia and Spasticity)
- Parkinson’s Tremors
- Essential Tremors
- Cerebral Palsy
- Multiple Sclerosis (pain management, incontinence and neuro rehab)
- Facial Palsy
At this meeting, we will learn how JOGO uses biofeedback [a type of mind-body technique you use to control some of your body’s functions, such as your heart rate, breathing patterns and muscle responses] to create neuroplasticity [the ability of the brain to form new connections and pathways and change how its circuits are wired].
Sanjai Murali, Founder and CEO of JOGO Health, Inc. worked with pioneers from NYU for over a decade to create a 21st-century version of EMG biofeedback modality – JOGO-Gx – that is enhanced by AI and easy to use for a variety of chronic pain disorders, incontinence, and movement disorders associated with stroke, Parkinson’s, and other neuromuscular disorders.
JOGO Health is backed by Mayo Clinic ventures. Sanjai brings extensive business development experience and general management experience in the technology business. In a prior life, he was part of the team that built the first payment application based on a smart chip.
