In this episode of the Brain & Life podcast, Dr. Daniel Correa and Dr. Katy Peters answer some of your questions. Then, Dr. Peters is joined by Dr. Rohan Ramakrishna, professor of Neurosurgery at Weill Cornell Medical College and co-founder of an application called Roon. Roon taps into accurate health information, particularly in the areas of ALS, dementia, and brain tumors, and connects patients and caregivers with the doctors and communities they’re looking for. Dr. Ramakrishna explains how this app came to be, who it’s helping, and what’s coming next.
