The barrier for most health startups are clinical trials and the Fda. How do you plan to manage that ? and does continuous improvement, like you hint in your pitch, even fit with way the Fda views the world?

Two things:

(1) Our first step is to provide analytics regarding patients focus, cognitive acuity, etc. Currently, this does not require FDA approval, however we will measure accuracy.

(2) Technically, we are providing an alternative treatment and do not need to get it approved with the FDA. In fact, you can already get the treatment we plan to provide (albeit at 10x the cost).

That being said, we are getting setup to run medical trials and already have people signed up[1], we have a facility, and a professor at the University of Illinois to help us with the process. We just need some financing to get it going.
