Innovating Holistic Health

EVENT DETAILS

Are you in pain? You’re not alone! In fact, between 10-20% of the population suffers from chronic pain.

Do you feel stressed out too? Two out of three adults in the U.S. report that they are feeling significant stress or anxiety right now!

That’s a lot of people who feel like you do!

Luckily, our speaker, Celine Tien, is working on a solution. Growing up with a doctor dad and parents in biotech, Celine had an early introduction to the wide world of health, but most importantly, her upbringing taught her to think creatively and to take on problems from a number of angles.

She’s the Founder and CEO of Flowly, an app that combines Virtual Reality and biofeedback to address pain and anxiety. Celine understands that bridging the gap between the mind and the body can lead to meaningful relief on a whole lot of levels.

Her personal story isn’t just about technology – it’s a deeply personal one. She has battled racist and sexist assumptions to break into the healthcare tech industry as an Asian American
