In this episode of The Wilkes-Barre Connect Podcast, we speak with Angel Diaz Jr., founder of Vital Health Enterprises and participant in the Luzerne County TechCelerator program. A U.S. military veteran and healthcare innovator, Angel is developing a real-time, wearable monitoring solution designed to streamline patient intake and optimize clinical workflows.
The Vital Band—his flagship device—continuously tracks key biometric indicators such as blood pressure, pulse oximetry, and additional vitals. By enabling patients to bypass preliminary nursing assessments, the device empowers healthcare providers to allocate resources more efficiently and prioritize direct physician care.
We explore Angel’s entrepreneurial journey, the technological underpinnings of the Vital Band, and how Vital Health Enterprises is positioned to disrupt traditional care delivery through data-driven, patient-centered innovation.

The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
