After a career at fashion brand Vertigo, Jean-Marc Zarka turned a longtime attachment to the Hamptons into a real estate business. His listings tell a story of taste, changing spaces and two American coastlines.
Otolith Labs is a Washington, D.C. medical device company building the first wearable to treat vertigo, motion sickness and virtual-reality sickness. Its patented non-invasive Vestibular Resonance Therapy (nVRT) uses precisely tuned bone-conduction vibrations to interact with the motion sensors of the inner ear, quieting the faulty balance signals that cause dizziness. The head-worn OtoBand has been tested on hundreds of subjects, carries an FDA Breakthrough Device Designation, and is pursuing FDA clearance through the De Novo pathway.
