this week the fda approved the very first medical device. veterans in the work force and the she feels repressed. she writes a book on working moms fights sexism. that's this week on press:here. good morning everyone. the apple watch has been a bit hit or miss for apple but it's caused a huge sensation among the health conscious that love

the ability to measure pulse rate or steps in a given day. christina and her mother experimenting with the watch for cnbc. >> i'm not sure i understand how to use it very well. what time is it? how many steps did i walk today? this is always curious. >> heart rate. >> are you stressed right now? >> the watch is stressing me out. >> the latest technology is for the unhealthy. they have announced the very first cleared fda medical accessory. it allows the heart watch to perform regular ekgs on the wearer. i want to get one thing out of

the way. wikipedia says you're the man widely believed to be the man behind google plus. are you the man behind google plus? >> i was. >> okay. if you're editing wikipedia you can take that off. >> thank you for having me on the program. i wanted to do something that was very meaningful. i had spent 24 years at microsoft and google. i had the unique opportunity to retire. i retired for about a year and realized i had to do something. what better way to spend your time than work on something that can effect peoples lives. my father had two heart attacks. when you see someone you love going through a heart attack, it's like a horror movie. you might lose them in front of your eyes.

when i came to realize more people die of heart disease more than all forms of cancer combined. i couldn't resist on really working on tools to help people take care of their heart. >> so right now i think personalized medicine is not quite mainstream work. how are you going to get this to become the sort of mainstream? >> that's a great question. today there is a wide between fitness products that measure things like heart rate or step count and then real medical devices the doctors can use for diagnosis. doctors generally don't ask you, what's your heart rate? we are trying to do medically significant and clinically valid tools -- >> for which you got an fda approval. >> what creates the need for an fda approval.

>> yeah. it turns out the ecg is so critical that the government regulates it. it will not let you show a consumer an ecg and they don't want consumers to misinterpret something. we told them it was as accurate as the machines in the hospital and our al gore rhyt-- and tell untrained consumer if it was normal or detected an arrhythmia. that's a breakthrough. that's never been possible before. >> are you anticipating a heart attack or giving information to tell someone how to prevebt it in the future? >> people often have arrhythmias. because they come on and go off that oftentimes when they go to the hospital and get an

electrocardiogram. they often go undiagnosed for 1.7 years. >> and all that time they are at risk. >> the number one cause of stroke is atrial fiblation. >> is it suddenly my watch goes off and says you are in danger, you may be having a heart attack soon? >> what we have built is something extraordinary. it is the first of its kind. we have built a network that runs on your watch every five seconds. it analyzes your heart rate data. when your heart rate does not match our prediction -- and our predictions are very complex. it takes into account things like your activity. we know you're sitting at a table. when your heart rate doesn't match what we think it should it

prompts you to say this is a good time to take an ekg. it could save your life. >> i think that's what's about the company has done here. the fda is extremely sensitive. taking a messment is one thing but offering a clinical interpretation of that data is identity another. the fda is naturally very sensitive about that. a lot of work with the fda to get them to see that these interpretations are valid. >> my doctor is very transparent. here is your blood test. i have no idea what any of it means. the interpretation is far more important than anything like that. we will get to the point where you have saved somebody. you just athounnounced it but t

will be a point where somebody says you saved my dad. >> we get those every day. i was reading an amazon review and it was someone saying this device save midlid my life. it makes it very rewarding. you ask me why did i go there. it is encouraging by reading those. >> it has take an long time for people to warm up to the apple watch. so how long do you think it will be before personalized health actually becomes standard for some people? >> i think it will take longer than people think. we are the one and only fda cleared accessory for the apple watch. i think slowly as real medical devices come to market they learn this is a life saving device they will be accustoms to

it. we live in the world of step counts an heart rates. that's not useful. >> my colleague mentioned this to you. you got something that no one else has. how difficult was that process if my company is try to go catch your company? >> our company has gone through $40 million of funding. >> it sounds difficult. >> it is challenging. for a start up it is a massive investment. if you're an investor in health care you have to think very long term. fortunately they have given us the opportunity to have these breakthroughs. >> your new device is called the -- >> cardia-band. >> we appreciate it. up next a former green beret

ray when press:here continues.

your boss may have told you business is a battlefield. strategic thinking. all of this probably causes manny to roll his eyes a bit.

he is also a green beret ray. 75 combat missions supporting the invasion of iraq. thank you for being with us. >> thanks for having me. >> now, you can talk about some of these missions, right? what did you do? what was your job in these missions? >> i think me specifically i was an 18 charlie which is special forces engineer. primarily i handled demolitions. it was just one element of what i did. we still -- like the main effort was working by and through our local forces. >> and mostly you blew stuff up? i would love with you in a bar and some guy showing he was an engineer. >> yeah, a little bit of a

difference. >> how do i know somebody is a green beret ray. it seems like someone might claim foolishly. how do i know you're a green ber beret? >> it is not something saying i'm a green beret ray in a bar. >> i guarantee i would be saying did i mention -- >> yeah. at the end of the day green beret raies are consultants. warrior diplomats are the name given. if you ask them what was your mission or what did you do it will be something of aworked with this nation indigenous forces. there is also unconventional warfare of it. we are teachers. there is a sustainability to it.

it is not just all guns and explosions. >> are there any routines you have kept up that you do daily now? >> it provides a good business framework. you're able to analyze problems strategically. there is a huge parallel which i like explaining. it is aftn ever-changing envie vonmevo ronment. >> and the company you have right now you made an employee owned business, right? >> i am a consultant for an esop, they are employee owned. a lot of it is customer facing. i think green beret raideal wel with managing that chaos. visualizing that complexity and how they can arrive in that

environment. >> it seems like something that's a quality that's valuable in a tech company. i can think of others though, toughness. i have heard that, you know, people in the military, they fight for a cause. they also really fight for each other. are those type of things -- are those what you discuss? >> yeah. creating a strong team, right? it is the age of a conscious consumer. people are caring more. i think it's internally and externally. it is something you faster in order to really sell your product to customers. >> we talked about what soldiers can bring to a company. what can a company do to make more con deucer and hiring veterans? >> i think we are still at the very beginning of veterans in

silicon valley. we are working with a lot of tech companies. we are seeing a lot go up between sales force. all of them are starting to put dedicated verticals up. that's the start of it, right? we want to continue to grow that. that's the mission of the green beret ray foundation. the transition is a next bridge line. we want to work with a lot of bay area companies first. we'll divide and conquer across the company. i think tech companies can first invite us to reck cog fliez tog are here. >> and i think one of the things you deal with is a skills gap, what can green beret rais or military people do, the things they need to come into a work force here. we are able to rapidly adapt.

when we have to be on cross functional teams, me as an 18 charlie overseeing demolitions and i they were training us. here are all things about weapons. so i think in general if we can partner with training partners here, whether it is boot camps, if you give us the opportunity we can rapidly accelerate our own process. >> what does work/life balance look like for you? >> when feem say what do you do for fun i say work. i am trying to get better at that myself. i want it and i'm still trying to work on work/life balance.

>> and this sounds boring compared to blowing stuff up. how do you transition from you blew stuff up to marketing consulta consultant? >> i get the same adrenaline rush bringing a product to market. it has the same type of rush. at the end of the day you can raise money and you can fail. >> that's true. >> a lot of companies do it. i have been trying to find product marketing. i get the same kind of get out of bed i can do that. >> thank you for being with us this morning. >> thank you so much. taking on the pay tri a ki when we continue.

had - getting a recalled appliance replaced. out consumer investigator steps up to help. and we )ll always be following any news that breaks overnight. plus - weather and traffic. join us monday - 4:30 to 7. she is a bomb thrower, she is incredibly talented. she helped me create the pilot for this television show that appeared with steve on episode 1. here she is asking about his personal life and showing off how many twitter followers she has. >> and i have to say, i have

about 8,000 followers and said what do you want me to ask and about half asked about kathy griffin. >> she has worked at business week -- >> and creepiness -- >> come in and cover very well. >> we want to make old things on paper relevant. >> she has written three books. it is a feature, the working woman's guide. >> who is the patriarchy. it is almost all modern

societies. every breath we have all drawn has been in the patriarchy. we are part of it too. >> do you think it is getting better or in some places? >> so it is both. there is this that you have to accept and it is uncomfortable. you kind of have to accept it. things are better and worse at the same time. the reason is because they have gotten so much worse. because we hit a point where it wasn't just about can you make small progress. it's immigrants may have to leave this country. oh, kkk folks are marching in the streets again. the progress we thought we had made we realized we haven't across a lot of fights for equality. i think that being so dramatic

and a man being accused of sexual assault had to get that bad for everyone to get united. it is the first time in my lifetime we have seen women across racial groups and income groups all be united for a solid 10 or 11 months in thinking and fighting for women every day. we were kind of the silent feminist generation. we thought everything had been done for us. it took something this bad to shake us and rip off the blinders. millennials were already there. the older generation was there. the big shift is gen x. i think as bad as it is it is also an astounding clanhange. i don't know a single entrepreneur thought would get -- women thought it was like

breathing oxygen. >> i noticed a number of female entrepreneurs. some times working together as well. is that something that formalized recently? >> it is something that has taken off like wild fire. this is the thing. it seems it's not that powerful to get people together and talk. this is what people do all of the time. frequently working women isolated. when you're isolated guilty seeps in and you're not enough. all of these voices magnified in your head. it is talking, comparing notes and realizing how powerful it is. women being like i didn't dress

provocatively. this isn't why this happened to me. this guy had a real problem. >> and we don't talk about wall street nearly as much. do you feel like it's being ignored or things are better there? >> so because wall street was an older company and larger companies they had more hr systems in place which is usually five guys that are sitting around and don't have a lot of that structure and what gets developed and what doesn't. certainly you're not having it grow at the speed where it's totally fine for them to treat women horribly. the other reason it's important is it's one of the biggest -- it needs to live up to what it says. less than 3% of female ceos

you're locking a lot of women and minorities out of the greatest wealth generation. >> i think it was really interesting to me about sort of this idea and this framework being built into the dna of these organizations where it's kind of controlled. what do you think this is going to look like when the payoff happens and organizations really start to change. >> we certainly not seeing it in congress on either side of the aisle. we are seeing it in some cases. look, what we are talking about mostly is extreme sexual assault. we are not really talking about bias or unconscious bias. we are talking about the largest

and most overt form of sexism. >> there's been lots of discussion as it should be. your book is primarily about a working mom. if i could ask you. >> i wouldn't have known how strong i was. i've given birth. none of these men have done that. i can do this. my entire adult life i was lied to. i was told it would make me weak or disstratracted. the opposite happened to me.

>> i became more combative. you become more productive. you are a more em pathetic manager. we have to learn how to incentivize. you just become -- you don't care about the bs anymore. i have hit points where someone would want me to run me out of the valley. my five-year-old tells me he hates me. you think i care? >> it has got to be quick. >> i guess there are similarities there. >> no. [ laughter ] >> my son is a feminist. >> we'll have to leave it there that some how that your son is more mature at age what? >> she she is six now.

>> a uterus is a future, not a bug. press:here will be back.
