Interview with CEO Laura Yecies on Happy Bones, Happy Life podcast!

CEO Laura Yecies is interviewed about how their easy-to-use medical device can prevent osteoporosis, winning the One Harvard New Venture Competition, and playing the violin!

“In terms of research funding, we have nothing to complain about — we have benefited from very generous grants — and what I find in my fundraising (is) if it’s a male audience where they don’t have a lot of domain expertise, they don’t get it,” Yecies said. “But it resonates with women, and I am getting more interest from women investors, angel investors and VC firms led by women.”

In a recent interview with PharmaShots, Laura Yecies, CEO of BoneHealth Technologies shared her views on OsteoBoost Vibration Belt that has been granted “Breakthrough Device” designation by the US FDA.

Bone Health Technologies Inc. may be on the verge of upstaging a common drug therapy, but don’t tell them to break a leg. The San Francisco-based company’s Osteoboost Vibration Belt received a U.S. FDA breakthrough designation for technology that delivers gentle stimulation to reduce bone loss and prevent osteoporosis with the goal of reducing the number of potentially devastating broken bones in the elderly.
