About

Creating products people love, and ensuring the technology behind them protects and uplifts the human spirit.I am an inventor and entrepreneur who has spent my career harnessing technology to improve the human condition, both physically and mentally. From inventing the Reebok Pump to creating healthcare companies that deliver better care, my work has focused on empowering people in everyday life and in moments of vulnerability.As Founder and CEO of Livio Labs, I am leading Hello Me, a hybrid-AI mental wellness platform that merges 30 years of clinical insight with modern AI safety principles. I also founded AI-31, an emerging standard for responsible AI in emotional and mental health systems.In parallel, I advise companies and investors at the intersection of innovation, human behavior, and digital health, helping teams build products that are both commercially powerful and ethically sound.I am a Harvard Innovation Lab mentor and frequent speaker (CES, ESPN, NPR, USA Today), exploring how technology can advance human well-being without losing what makes us human.For advisory, media, or speaking inquiries: press@otisvp.com
