DESCRIPTION
Chris Johnson's ALS diagnosis has reignited an important conversation about ALS research, awareness, and what comes next.
In this interview, Everything ALS founder and CEO Indu Navarre explains how renewed awareness from Chris Johnson's story and the return of the Ice Bucket Challenge can become something even more meaningful: better research, improved data collection, and ultimately better treatments for people living with ALS.
After losing her husband to ALS, Indu founded Everything ALS to help transform research through artificial intelligence, machine learning, speech analysis, and patient data. She explains why ALS remains one of medicine's most challenging diseases, why research has progressed so slowly, and how technology could dramatically accelerate the search for better treatments and a cure.
