She took this CEO job in part because she remembered how a stroke — and the doctor that misdiagnosed it — impacted her former Intel colleague Sean Maloney just as he was expected to become Intel's next CEO.Diane Bryant announced last week that she had taken the role of CEO with a medical robotics startup called Neural Analytics.
She was looking for "a startup I believed in, and if I felt the founders were open to being advised," she said. All that due diligence helped her narrow her focus to healthcare tech. "We deployed [Internet of Things] devices for a thousand patients," Bryant recalls. The connected devices tracked their gait, tremble, sleep and other metrics to help researchers in determining if their treatments were working. The health group then did a similar thing for cancer researchers.
Maloney was widely considered to be on track to become Intel CEO, succeeding Paul Otellini. But in 2010 Maloney had a stroke. He drove to an emergency room where the doctor didn't believe he was having a stroke, told him it was a migraine and sent him home. Later that weekend, he collapsed,. He fought his way back, and within a year was recovered enough to resume an executive role at Intel, even leading a famous bike ride in 2015 to raise awareness for stroke victims.
