Men’s health is a critical issue all over the world. Between the unique challenges facing men, like higher levels of stress, erectile dysfunction, worse rates of heart disease and death, and higher rates of depression and suicide, there are a lot of things that we need to improve to keep men healthier, happier, and living longer.
The good news is that there are a plethora of companies working on innovating new techniques and medicines to help address the common problems in men’s health.
With better health care, more innovative treatments, and other improvements in the men’s health world, men have a better chance to live the kind of happy and healthy lives they’ve dreamed of.
Below is a list of 5 of the world’s top CEOs chosen by us here at International Business Times that are disrupting the men’s healthcare industry, and helping make men’s wellness better and more practical.
1. Reza Amin – Bastion Health
Reza Amin is a CEO, scientist, the author of several peer-reviewed studies, and the founder of two different medical technology companies. At Bastion Health, though, his mission is as much about revolutionizing how men receive and access healthcare as it is about finding innovations and improvements in men’s health.
With a focus on fertility, and helping men understand their own fertility, Bastion Health is here to make men’s reproductive health as well understood and accessible as women’s.
Dr. Amin realized, when he and his wife were trying to start a family, that there wasn’t nearly as much reproductive information access for men as there was for women, and that it was harder for Dr. Reza to learn about his own reproductive health than his wife.
Bastion Health is here to change that, which would be huge for men’s reproductive health.
2. Andreas Dettlaff – Nu Image Medical
When Andreas Dettlaff started Nu Image Medical back in 2008, he quickly realized that there were gaps in medical healthcare coverage for all people, especially men.
Men are notorious for not being willing or able to take the time to go to a doctor, which means that improving men’s health is largely about improving access to men’s health. That’s why Nu Image Medical offers telehealth appointments, so men can comfortably and easily access medical care from the comfort and privacy of their own homes.
With innovative products helping address issues like erectile dysfunction, male pattern baldness, weight gain, and hormone therapies, Nu Image Medical is making it easier for men to stay healthier and happier longer.
3. Timothy Warbington – Creative Medical Technologies Holdings
Creative Medical Technologies Holdings is working to change some of the most important fields of medicine when it comes to men’s health. Their stem cell regenerative therapy is being targeted at issues like diabetes, liver and kidney disease, and stroke risk.
By using new and innovative stem cell technology, Timothy Warbington is leading the way to improving outcomes and health impacts for some of the most important diseases in men’s health and wellness.
4. Kevin Eisenfrats – Contraline
Under Kevin Eisenfrats’ leadership, Contraline is creating an innovative new form of long-term contraception targeted at men.
With an effective and safe contraceptive option, men will be able to take better control of their own reproductive health and make their own choices about their fertility and family planning.
5. Khaled Kteily – Legacy
Last but certainly not least, Khaled Kteily has experience in health consulting, health policy, and innovation. Like some of the other top innovators in Men’s Health and Wellness, Khaled recognized that men had fewer options when it comes to reproductive health and learning about their fertility status.
Khaled is hoping to change that. Legacy offers state-of-the-art testing for male fertility, products to help improve fertility, and freezing services to help men learn about, maintain, and protect their reproductive potential.
