Founder at @Solvemed PuRe Pupillometry System | Thiel Fellow
The Thiel Fellowship continues to select the brightest young minds that are blazing their own unique trail Since 2012, dropping out of school and starting a startup has gone from contrarian, to a tracked path So now the Fellowship digs deeper to find new contrarian life paths
Welcome 2025 Thiel Fellows! WHO ARE THEY? Ferdinand Dabitz, Berlin, Germany - @FerdiDabitz Ivy is building the world trade bank — a global instant payments platform. Jackson Denka, Los Angeles, CA - @jacksondenka Azura is a trading platform that utilizes on-chain rails to…
The brainstem links your brain with your spinal cord and is positioned close to the lower part of your brain. It controls critical, automatic processes like your heartbeat and breathing. It also supports things like staying balanced, moving smoothly, and reacting quickly with…
AI is enabling companies to ship earlier than ever. Small cos are selling to Fortune 500s. And they're ready to buy! But these deals constantly hit roadblocks because the AI ecosystem hasn't figured out how to build a *language around trust*.
To accelerate AI adoption, we need an AI standard. What Moody’s is for bonds, FICO for credit, SOC 2 for security. Standards offer credible signals of who to trust. They create confidence. Confidence accelerates adoption. Introducing AIUC-1: the world’s first AI agent standard
1/ Hi 👋 #medtwitter #neurotwitter #neurocritcare #FOAMed #meded have another interesting case I wanted to have you 👀 out and see if perhaps you learn something new!
🔦 Ambient light affects pupillometry in ICU patients. link.springer.com/article/10.100… 🧪 20 pts NPi was lower in bright vs. dark conditions 25% showed ≥0.6 drop in NPi with light No NPi change between repeated dark tests ⚠️ Light level should be considered in QP interpretation
🧠 AI in neurology is here - and it’s powerful. ⚡ Stroke on MRI? 93% sensitivity/spec. 🧠 TBI outcomes? >80% accuracy. 🧪 ICH on CT? 92% sens, 94% spec. 📉 Epilepsy EEGs? Detected via AI. But challenges remain. Clinical integration needs neurologists at the helm. #AI #Neurology
While Elon is catching rockets, outlook still looses emails - smile
Introducing the PuRe score by Solvemed! Objective pupillometry, delivering accurate pupil reactivity assessment regardless of lighting conditions. Scale: 3-5 = Normal, <3 = Sluggish, 0 = Non-reactive. Enhance your neurological exam with reliable and convenient pupil testing.
We’ve already passed peak median human endurance long time ago. Next up: peak median IQ. Intelligence will be outsourced, automated, commodified. For a brief moment, EQ might matter more—before it, too, gets optimized out.

Dive into the brain’s vascular system! 🧠 This illustration from Neuroscience, 5th Ed. shows arteries like the internal carotid delivering oxygen-rich blood (left, A) and veins like the superior sagittal sinus draining it out (right, B). A stunning look at human anatomy!…
