The women-led board will leverage their
medical and scientific expertise to enhance Evie's product roadmap
and provide trusted content
PLEASANTON, Calif., Aug. 10,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Movano Health
(Nasdaq: MOVE), a purpose-driven healthcare solutions company at
the intersection of medical and consumer devices and makers of the
Evie Ring, announced the formation of its Medical Advisory Board.
The initial panel is composed of healthcare industry subject matter
experts in women's health, mental health, and sleep, who will serve
as trusted advisors to the Evie team regarding the development of
its medical-grade smart ring for women and provide insights to
establish Evie as a highly credible health and wellness
resource.
The inaugural members of the Medical Advisory Board include:
Dr. Mary Claire Haver, MD,
FACOG, CCMS is a board-certified OB/GYN, author and
entrepreneur who has devoted her practice to women's health. She
has helped thousands of women going through perimenopause and
menopause actualize their health and wellness goals by creating The
Galveston Diet integrated wellness program. With the goal of
empowering and educating women, Dr. Haver took a deep dive into the
science of menopause, aging, and inflammation beyond what she was
taught in medical school and residency. She emerged with an
evidence-based program so women could wisely invest in their most
undervalued asset, their health.
Dr. Ruth C. White, PhD, MPH, MSW, RSW is a
mental health expert, stress management advocate and diversity
trainer. She authored the book, The Stress Management Workbook:
De-stress in 10 minutes or Less, and has written articles on
mental health for Harvard Business Review, Fast Company, Modern
Healthcare, and more. Throughout her career, she has spent more
than 20 years teaching social work at the University of Southern California, Seattle University, UC Berkeley, Fordham, and San Francisco
State. Her holistic, science-based, prevention-focused
approach is grounded in her experience as an elite athlete and her
personal mental health journey.
Dr. Andrea Matsumura, MD, MS,
FACP is a sleep medicine specialist at the Oregon Clinic who
has helped thousands of people improve their sleep. She focuses
specifically on sleep in women and how their sleep differs from
that of men. She practiced medicine as a primary care physician for
12 years until she realized that the root of managing chronic
conditions hinges on getting a good night's rest. She graduated
from the University of Texas Medical
School in San Antonio and
completed her internship and residency at Providence Portland
Medical Center. She completed her fellowship in sleep at Oregon
Health and Science University. Dr. Matsumura has appeared in
countless webinars, articles, and conferences.
"To develop a wearable that is truly medical grade, we needed to
make sure we involved the experts. This highly regarded group
of advisors are in a unique position to provide perspective from
their day-to-day interactions with women which will enhance Evie's
product experience," said Stacy
Salvi, Vice President of Strategy at Movano Health. "We
are honored to work closely with each of them and tap their
unparalleled expertise to help women better understand their
bodies."
To certify the accuracy of Evie Ring's heart rate and
SpO2 data and earn the trust of users and doctors alike,
the Company recently submitted a 510(k) premarket notification
to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the Evie Ring's
pulse oximeter. The submission has passed the first milestone of
the review process and is now under full review by the FDA.
