Mahbod is an award-winning entrepreneur, public speaker, judge and mentor at various events across the world. At Mosaikx, he won several global awards and mentored hardware and software startups at highly recognized platforms such as Google Startup Weekend.

Mahbod Azadian is CTO of Mosaikx, where he created Hipo, a wearable medical technology platform that provides new solutions for Alzheimer's patients and their caregivers. The Hipo mobile app—which has been downloaded well over 15,000 times—has been a game-changer for families all over the world.

The device offers Alzheimer's patients reminders for their daily activities. It also tracks their timeline and behaviors so family members can keep an eye on their loved ones from far away. Adult children can even use the app to track the physical location of their parent.

The benefits of this technology are immeasurable. Families gain peace of mind, while individuals struggling with dementia are able to live more independently for a longer period of time.

"Hipo represents the very reason I built a career around technology," Azadian says. "I have always been energized by the possibilities technology presents. When we take the time to fully understand the tools at our disposal, we can discover solutions to the problems that nag us the most. For me, that was Alzheimer's."

Azadian also helps entrepreneurs as co-founder and board member of LookinLA, a rapidly growing digital intelligence firm based in Los Angeles. "I remember what it meant to me to be able to make my vision a reality," he explains. "Hipo is one of my proudest achievements, especially because it came from passion, principle, and experiments."
