Prior to joining Tactile Systems Technology, Moen was CFO of Entellus Medical Inc. from 2016 until its acquisition by Stryker Corporation in 2018. Moen also served as CFO of ABRA Auto Body & Glass LP, and Regis Corporation.

LifeLens, a private healthcare company, has developed a system incorporating artificial intelligence capable of monitoring physiological data to assess real-time health readiness and performance. The LifeLens system can provide monitoring both remotely and in the hospital or doctors’ office, and can wirelessly transmit real‐time scenarios providing actionable information that will allow health professionals to make data-driven decisions to improve patients' health. The LifeLens product is cleared by the U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for remote single channel electrocardiogram (ECG) and heart rate monitoring. The system is not yet FDA-cleared for other indications.
Since 2019, LifeLens has been testing its wearable physiological sensors with the United States Armed Forces, allowing military leaders the ability to monitor their troops health, readiness, and performance in real-time training and operational environments.
