Podcast Summary: The Digital Executive — "Exploring Decentralized Medical Science with Founder Christopher Crecelius" (Ep 1024)

Date: March 16, 2025
Host: Brian, Coruzant Technologies
Guest: Christopher Crecelius, Founder of Axon Dao

Overview

In this episode, Brian sits down with Christopher Crecelius, founder of Axon Dao, to explore how emerging technologies—especially decentralization—can democratize and transform medical science. Christopher discusses his holistic approach that draws from tech, health, and the arts, offers insight into breaking healthcare’s traditional bottlenecks, and unveils innovative projects ranging from voice-based health analytics to sound therapy and digital verification in medical cannabis.

Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. Interdisciplinary Foundations: Merging Tech, Health, and Art

• Creative, Holistic Perspective:
  • Christopher’s background in business, fine arts, and auto engineering has shaped his leadership.
  • He emphasizes blending the "human element" with creativity and science for problem-solving.
• Quote:
  • “Being from the arts and creative side to technical and very professional, you still have the human element that I think people oversee.” — Christopher Crecelius [01:23]

2. Decentralizing Medical Science: Tackling Bottlenecks and Monopolies

• Axon Dao’s Mission:
  • Democratizes access to medical science and data by using decentralized technologies.
  • Targets pharmaceutical monopolies and industry bottlenecks by leveraging independence from major investors.
• Tech-Driven Transformation:
  • Rapid technological advances make transparency and tool democratization more feasible.
  • Axon Dao remains nimble, not encumbered by bureaucratic or institutional inertia.
• Quote:
  • “We aren’t governed or managed by any VC, or big tech, or big pharma investor. So we can allow ourselves to take that pragmatic perspective of how to solve the problem by eliminating all the bureaucratic issues that may be in an institution.” — Christopher Crecelius [03:33]

3. Voice Analysis for Early Disease Detection: Project ‘Voice A’

• How It Works:
  • Uses voice biometrics and AI to detect patterns indicating stress, emotion, or health status via the analysis of 36 separate voice data points.
  • Relies on physical cues (vagus nerve, diaphragm, internal organs) affecting tonality.
  • Moves control of sensitive health data to individuals, not opaque, third-party entities.
• Potential Impact:
  • Real-time, non-invasive early detection for disease and stress.
  • When combined with biometric devices (like the Cure Ring), enables richer, more comprehensive health insights.
• Quote:
  • “If you take enough samples, you’re really going to get a really strong picture... there’s 36 right now voice data points that can be compared and contrasted against each other, it really paints an amazing picture.” — Christopher Crecelius [07:03]

4. Upcoming Axon Dao Projects Aligned with Decentralized Health

a) Silosis

• Description:
  • The first IRB-approved, objective microdosing (psilocybin) study combining voice and biometric analytics.
• Unique Aspects:
  • Participants use their voice and biometrics to build a more objective picture of microdosing effects.
  • First to use voice AI for microdosing study in the US.
• Quote:
  • “It’ll actually be the first project using voice AI, and I believe it will be the first for microdosing in the US.” — Christopher Crecelius [09:30]
• Timeline:
  • Rolling out soon.

b) Feel (PHEAL)

• Description:
  • Platform leveraging music/sound therapy for health and wellbeing.
• Goals:
  • Incentivize both artists and users.
  • Connect feelings elicited by music with measurable health impacts.
• Participant Privacy:
  • Users retain full control over their data, including deletion.

c) Cannabit

• Description:
  • Medical marijuana third-party verification platform.
• Problem Addressed:
  • Inconsistent quality and lack of standardization in cannabis products offered for therapy.
• Solution:
  • Serve as a verifiable, lab-backed guarantee for new medical cannabis products.

d) Ultra plus V

• Description:
  • Investigation and practical use of low-power ultrasound for dementia and Alzheimer’s therapy.
• Science Basis:
  • Potential for ultrasound to break up neural plaques or reawaken synapses.
• Revolutionary Aim:
  • Make ultrasound therapy accessible through retail devices for everyday people.
• Quote:
  • “The theory is the ultrasound will be able to break up or awaken the dead synapses or the dying synapses and get rid of the plaque... maybe something we do here... will uncover something that might be a universal treatment.” — Christopher Crecelius [12:16]

Memorable Quotes

• “Healthcare is probably one of the most important things to us as humans individually. And there’s just a lot of bottlenecks in healthcare… It’s ripe for change.” — Brian [04:13]
• “All we’re doing is just empowering the people, but at the same time giving them the same technologies that other people are using.” — Christopher Crecelius [07:39]
• “We want to try to make that connection and make an ecosystem and just make it really interesting and immersive for the user to feel like they’re not giving their data to something.” — Christopher Crecelius [11:20]
