From Crutches to Superpowers: Dhaval Patel’s Journey with Lotus

From Crutches to Superpowers: Dhaval Patel’s Journey with Lotus

What happens when an everyday frustration sparks a breakthrough? Dhaval Patel, founder of Lotus and former Apple engineer, shares how a late-night struggle with the light switch led him to create a wearable ring that gives people with mobility challenges new independence.

In this episode of The AgeTech Podcast, Dhaval and I talk about:

  • Why users call the Lotus ring a superpower
  • The surprising ways older adults, people with disabilities, and even new parents are using it
  • What founders can learn about listening between the lines in user interviews

If you’re building in aging, caregiving, or accessibility- or just curious how small innovations can change lives—this conversation is packed with insights and inspiration.
