After recently announcing the establishment of its Medical Advisory Board, Movano Health has named Fátima Rodriguez, M.D., as its newest member.
Rodriguez is an associate professor and section chief of Preventive Cardiology at Stanford University, and a practicing noninvasive and preventive cardiologist. Rodriguez specializes in cardiovascular disease prevention, inherited lipid disorders, and cardiovascular risk assessment in high-risk populations. Her research includes a range of topics around racial, ethnic, and gender disparities in cardiovascular disease prevention, developing novel interventions to address disparities, and opportunistic screening of coronary artery disease.
Rodriguez earned her medical degree from Harvard Medical School and her MPH from the Harvard School of Public Health as Zuckerman Fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School's Center for Public Leadership.
"As a company committed to delivering medical grade data and bridging the health equity gap, we felt it is critical to bring the voice of female medical professionals to the forefront of our product development efforts," Movano Health CEO John Mastrototaro said. "Heart health is a an often-overlooked component of women's health, and we are so fortunate to have Dr. Rodriguez joining us on our mission to bridge the gap."
Besides Rodriguez, Movano Health's Medical Advisory Board is comprised of experts from various disciplines, including Mary Claire Haver, M.D., a board-certified OB/GYN, author, and entrepreneur; Ruth C. White, Ph.D., a mental health advocate, stress management expert, and diversity trainer; and Andrea Matsumura, M.D., a sleep medicine specialist at the Oregon Sleep Clinic.
