In this episode of The CTO Show with Mehmet, we have the pleasure of speaking with Jean-Philippe Diel, the founder of SymbionIQ, who joins us from New Zealand. Jean-Philippe shares his fascinating journey from his early days in FMCG to his passion for technology and eventual transition into the tech industry. He describes his experiences working with major companies like Samsung and his ventures into entrepreneurship, which ultimately led to the creation of SymbionIQ.
Jean-Philippe delves into the inspiration behind SymbionIQ, highlighting the concept of using motion capture and sensors to record and analyze movements. This technology aims to revolutionize remote training by enabling users, such as yoga instructors and physical activity trainers, to create detailed, interactive lessons. He explains how the integration of haptic feedback and AI enhances the learning experience by providing real-time corrections and personalized guidance.
The conversation explores the broader vision of SymbionIQ, which includes building a decentralized healthcare ecosystem that prioritizes data privacy and user control. Jean-Philippe discusses the challenges of the current healthcare system, emphasizing the need for a shift from a “sick care” model to one focused on health span and longevity. He introduces the concept of a protocol network economy, where blockchain technology ensures users maintain ownership of their health data, enabling a more holistic and personalized approach to healthcare.
Jean-Philippe also touches on the potential for integrating augmented reality and virtual reality into SymbionIQ’s platform. By using devices like the Apple Vision Pro, users can interact with their digital selves, receiving precise feedback and guidance in real-time. This innovative approach aims to make fitness and health training more accessible and effective.
The episode concludes with a discussion on the future of SymbionIQ and its potential impact on the healthcare industry. Jean-Philippe shares his plans for raising a pre-seed round to further develop the platform and expand the team. He envisions a collaborative ecosystem where multiple startups can build on SymbionIQ’s backend, creating a comprehensive and user-centric health management system.
