What if your body could sense pain and block it, no pills, no patches, no addiction, just smart biology + AI?
In this episode of Lightning RX, host Kalena Taft, founder of Lightning GTM, sits down with Alexander Ziwahatan, President at Omnithion, to explore how his team is developing OmniDots, AI-powered micro-injectables designed to find and silence pain signals from within the body.
Alexander shares how his 17 years as a caregiver to his mother, who has endured numerous back surgeries, ignited his drive to build a better solution. Instead of relying on systemic drugs with side effects, he envisions microscopic serums that travel through the bloodstream, detect pain, and block it precisely at its source.
He delves into the technology, the vision, and the hurdles ahead: human trials, regulatory pathways, industry skepticism, and the mission to transform how pain is managed, especially as the opioid crisis continues to devastate communities.
What You’ll Learn:
- The origin story behind OmniDots and how personal experience sparked the idea
- How AI and injectable technology might identify and intercept pain signals
- The potential to replace traditional pain meds with smarter, safer alternatives
- The challenges of getting a novel medical technology from concept to clinic
- How to build partnerships when funding, scale, and credibility are still in progress
- Why mission must lead innovation when the stakes are human suffering
- The mindset of a founder working to change the entire paradigm of chronic pain
💡 Golden Nugget:
“OmniDots isn’t just a product, it’s hope. It’s the future of treating pain without addiction.”
