Mohan Thanikachalam, MD

FOUNDER AND CEO

As Principal NIH Investigator, Dr. Thanikachalam led the effort to develop ViTrack technology. A cardiovascular surgeon by training, he is a part-time faculty member at Tufts University School of Medicine (TUSM) and an affiliate faculty member at MIT. His research interests include the development and validation of point-of-care technologies for home-based cardiovascular risk assessment and disease monitoring to facilitate more comprehensive, community-based CVD prevention and management strategies.

Edward Adelson, PhD

CO-FOUNDER & CORE TECHNOLOGY TEAM MEMBER

As part of the ViTrack team, Professor Adelson led the development of a novel optical technology for artificial touch sensing, which converts touch to images and enables tactile sensitivity beyond that of a human fingertip. He is the John and Dorothy Wilson Professor of Vision Science in the Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences and the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) at MIT. Professor Adelson is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He is well known for contributions to multi-scale image representation (such as the Laplacian pyramid) and basic concepts in early vision such as motion energy and steerable filters
