Summary
Subbu Venkatraman is a technology leader with nine years of experience building AI-powered medical products and leading cross-functional teams at the intersection of hardware, software, and data science. Currently Head of Digital Health Research at Samsung Research America, he previously served as CTO of Eko where he led development of AI-enabled digital stethoscopes used by hundreds of thousands of clinicians worldwide. His career includes driving FDA-cleared medical algorithms and sensors at Fitbit and pioneering sensor and neural-network research at Qualcomm, reflecting deep expertise in embedded systems, signal processing, and clinical-grade ML. He blends rigorous academic training—a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from UC Berkeley—with hands-on product delivery and executive strategy. Known for translating novel sensor research into scalable, regulated products, he often operates where device engineering, regulatory pathways, and machine learning converge. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, he is as comfortable sketching hardware prototypes as he is defining long-term digital health roadmaps.
