VIDEO: Why the Best Use of Data Science Might Not Be Another SaaS Product

Andrew Engel, a former data science professional in B2B SaaS, co-founded NYST.AI, a startup focused on detecting concussions using phone camera video through pose estimation and machine learning. After spending six years in data science roles and experiencing disillusionment with the large language model market, Engel decided to address a real-world problem by leveraging his expertise in machine learning. NYST.AI aims to diagnose concussions by analyzing movement data captured from cell phone cameras, presenting a significant market opportunity in areas such as emergency medicine, sports, and military applications. The company is currently in the early stages, raising an angel round, and forming partnerships with medical institutions to gather necessary data and refine their models. Engel's shift from employee to founder has reinvigorated his passion for his work, as the potential impact of the startup offers a meaningful departure from his previous SaaS experiences.
