How One Caregiver Is Rethinking ALS, Alzheimer’s & Healthcare with Indu Navar

This week on Mind What Matters, Elizabeth Humphreys and Nikki DeLoach sit down with entrepreneur, technologist, and healthcare innovator Indu Navar for one of the most eye-opening conversations the podcast has had to date. After losing her husband Peter to ALS, Indu found herself confronting a healthcare system that felt outdated, disconnected, and devastatingly slow. Instead of walking away from that experience, she decided to challenge the system itself.Indu shares how her background in technology, AI, and entrepreneurship led her to create a new model focused on patient-driven research, faster collaboration, and better connections between caregivers, researchers, clinicians, and pharmaceutical companies. Together, Liz, Nikki, and Indu unpack the deep frustrations families experience during diagnosis, why so many caregivers feel powerless inside healthcare systems, and how innovation could radically change the future of diseases like ALS and Alzheimer’s.This conversation is emotional, deeply personal, and ultimately hopeful. It’s about refusing to accept “this is just how it’s done” when families’ lives are on the line.To learn more about Mind What Matters or to support our mission head to our website.
