Gregory Menvielle (Using AI Technology to Assess Both Mental Health and Performance) - Episode 1221
About this episode
Gregory Menvielle is an IT Veteran and co-founder of the mental wellness platform Okaya. We discuss his childhood in France, the evolution of the internet, the global mental health crisis, using AI to proactively assess mental health, forging performance, firefighter health, wearables and so much more.
Greg Menvielle is CEO of Okaya (SmartTec Inc.), an AI-powered readiness platform whose AI, Sanora, conducts multimodal check-ins — analyzing voice, facial cues, and language — to generate readiness scores across cognitive, physical, and emotional dimensions. Okaya serves first responders, Department of Defense personnel, and clinical populations, and holds a U.S. Air Force SBIR Phase II contract with active Air Force Reserve deployments.
Greg has spoken at Mobile World Congress and multiple Intel Innovators Program conferences, and previously wrote about the European tech scene for RudeBaguette. He holds an MA in ancient languages from the University of Chicago and a BA in economics from UCLA — a path he credits with teaching him to decode complex systems, whether Hieroplyphics or software.
