Qualified Consumer Wellness and Sleep: Hearing the Rise Science Story
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Welcome back to the Autonomous Health podcast. Good sleep plays a pivotal role in mood, brain functioning, limiting stress, and overall health, including the management of chronic conditions. Yet over the past few decades, mobile devices and lifestyle changes have also adversely impacted good sleep.
In this episode, we talk with Jeff Kahn and Leon Sasson, co-founders of Rise Sleep Science. Rise sleep is a leading health and wellness app globally, helping people better track and manage their sleep, which was recognized by Apple at WWDC 2023 as an Apple Design Award finalist. Hear their personal journey about the early days of how Jeff and Leon met - working with college athletes to improve sleep - that led them to think about sleep for all of us.
There are two core data and modeling opportunities when it comes to sleep. The first is our ability to measure sleep effectively across populations, and incorporate it as a valuable signal into health and wellness models. The second is designing experiences and products that help all of us improve and optimize our sleep. Listen to Jeff and Leon talk about their insights from over a decade of experience tackling both these problems, and their approach to reducing sleep debt.
About Our Guests:
Jeff Kahn is Co-Founder & CEO and Leon Sasson is Co-Founder & CTO at Rise Science. Jeff holds a B.S. in Health Systems Engineering and an M.S. in Engineering Design & Innovation from Northwestern University.
