Kevin Ray: From Gaming to Smarter Home Care | Ep 1227

In this episode of The Digital Executive, host Brian Thomas speaks with Kevin Ray, CTO and co-founder of Nomo SmartCare, shares how his 25-year career in gaming and consumer electronics shaped a new approach to connected healthcare. Drawing parallels between gaming and health tech, he highlights the importance of security, scalable infrastructure, and intuitive user experience—especially for aging populations. Inspired by personal family experiences, Kevin built Nomo to passively monitor daily activity and detect when something’s wrong—answering a simple but critical question: “How’s mom?” He also discusses startup pitfalls, the importance of product-market fit, and how continuous innovation and consumer-grade experiences will define the future of in-home care.
