About me
I'm building the behavioral vital sign medicine never had — a way to detect cognitive and physical decline months before a fall, a hospitalization, or a diagnosis, using passive radar in the home. No cameras. No wearables. No friction.
My company, Nasoni, grew out of a personal story: watching my father, Lt. Col. John Waddell, a decorated Army combat veteran, face the risks that come with aging — and realizing the system had no way to see decline coming until it was too late. That gap became my mission.
Talk to me about building deep-tech health companies on NIH funding, navigating the FDA, aging-in-place innovation, pitching to investors when your product takes years to validate, or what it's like to go from nuclear shipbuilding to founding a startup. I'm also happy to talk about my TEDx talk, my book Valuepreneurs, or why a faucet company ended up building the future of elder care.
