Renee Ryan, CEO, Cala Health talks about the focus of Cala on using electricity as medicine by developing wearable electronics to treat tremors in the hands of essential tremor patients.  Using neuromodulation technology, they have developed a device that includes a stimulator and a signal that is sent across two nerves in the wrist to read the frequency of the tremors and allow the patient to reduce tremors on demand.
