Marina Davtyan is a medical doctor, researcher, and entrepreneur with over a decade of work at the intersection of robotics, rehabilitation, and assistive technology. She founded her first prosthetics company, ArmBionics, at 19 as a medical student, and over the following years, launched a few products to market, worked directly with patients and clinics, and this hands-on experience brought her closer to the hardest unsolved problems in the field.
She is now the Founder of Connectra, building the longitudinal data and engagement infrastructure that the assistive device ecosystem has long been missing.
Marina believes the most important breakthroughs in assistive technology will come from closing the distance between researchers/manufacturers who innovate or build the technology and the people who live with it. Her vision is to build the largest community of assistive device users, where Paralympic athletes inspire others as role models, push boundaries, and connect back to the researchers and clinicians who can make the next generation of technology worthy of them.
