Building A Bra to Sense Heart Disease in Women

You probably wear a bra almost every day but don't really think twice about it. What if we told you there is a bra on the way that could track your heart health, and maybe save your life?

That technology is being worked on right now by our guest Alicia Chong Rodriguez. Alicia is an engineer and inventor who is the founder of Bloomer Tech. She designs wearable technologies that can allow for personalized healthcare, particularly in the treatment of cardiovascular disease in women. She was also named a TED fellow in 2021.

Listen as Alicia tells us how she personally has been affected by heart disease and how this lead her to pursue prevention products, as well as the technology behind this remarkable product.
