Noosheen Hashemi is the Founder and CEO of January, who has developed a platform that predicts diabetic patients’ responses to certain foods. January has raised $40 million to date from notable investors such as Felicis Ventures, Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff, YouTube co-founder Steve Chen, and former Yahoo! CEO Marissa Mayer.“One out of three people in America has pre-diabetes, and 90% of them don’t know it,” said Hashemi. “And one out of nine people has diabetes, and 20% of those people don’t know it. So blood sugar is something we should all be managing, but we just don’t know that we should.”While other companies have made headway in understanding biometric sensor data—from heart rate and glucose monitors, for example—January AI has made progress in analyzing and predicting the effects of food consumption itself.Where to find Noosheen Hashemi:• Website: Blood Sugar Monitoring Without A CGM | AI Health App | January AI• LinkedIn(18) Noosheen Hashemi | LinkedIn Where to find Hadi Radwan:• Newsletter: Principles Friday | Hadi Radwan | Substack• LinkedIn: Hadi Radwan | LinkedInIf you like our podcast, please don't forget to subscribe and support us on your favorite podcast players.
