About this episode
Dr. Ashlyn Sanders discusses her journey with Chiari Malformation and the development of a new seizure oral protection device.
Episode 324: In this episode of the Medic2Medic Podcast, Steve sits down with Dr. Ashlyn Sanders, pediatric neurology resident at Johns Hopkins Hospital and Founder and Chief Medical Officer of NeuroVice. Dr. Sanders shares her personal journey following her diagnosis with Chiari Malformation, which required emergency brain surgery and led to her experiencing seizures herself. That experience fueled her mission to improve seizure care and address a long-standing gap in patient safety.

This episode highlights the intersection of personal experience, clinical insight, and innovation aimed at changing the standard of care in seizure management.
