| Nexeon Medsystems, Inc. CEO Will Rosellini |
Nexeon Medsystems (OTC: NXNN) is a medical device company that’s exploring new ways to use established technology to fight diseases in a different way — someday that could mean integrating information sources directly into your nervous system.
One of Nexeon's advancements involves using pacemakers to interface with the nervous system and change the incorrect signals that diseases send to the brain into healthy signals.
For example, patients who have Parkinson's Disease often exhibit shaking as a symptom. Nexeon’s device intercepts the “bad” signals that are triggering the tremor and instead sends back the right information for the nervous system to use.
Chairman and CEO Will Rosellini responded to the Business Journal's questions about working in tech in DFW.
How would you define the intersection of people and technology?
People have a lot of trouble putting down their iPhone, and it's our belief that the information contained in the supercomputer that is your iPhone will someday be integrated into your nervous system directly. We've seen signs of this cyborg-level technology already in our lives, so if you're trying to not look at your phone while I'm talking, you understand why this technology is more likely to happen than not.
What’s an example of technology that people don’t use any more, and we take its replacement for granted?
My young children have a very difficult time understanding what cash is. As I try to explain, I find it hard to do. They look at my phone, and say “that's cash,” and I try to explain that it’s connected to paper money at the bank. Paper money is a very difficult concept to explain to kids today.
What is your biggest challenge as a company?
As a small, publicly-traded company, we struggle to explain a difficult science and engineering story to the retail investing public.
What do you think is something that will be an important technology in the future that people don’t see coming?
By 2027, fundamental characteristics of cell phone technology and the nervous system are going to astound people in terms of how much can be done with implantable devices. When you add in the influence of the internet of things, you’re going to have dramatic advances in the ways humans interact with computers.
