Episode 52: Fighting Chronic Pain with an App with Celine Tien from Flowly

In today’s episode of Startup Happy Hour, we’re talking to Celine Tien, Founder and CEO of Flowly, an app for managing your pain and anxiety.

Celine takes us through how Flowly works to help people with chronic pain and anxiety, and explains how people can get started with the app. We discuss the types of people who are struggling with chronic pain and how they’re using Flowly to manage it better.

Celine also shares what inspired her to start working on the app, like her parents’ background in medicine and biotech, and early experiences with pancreatic cancer patients. She talks about her strategies for building a customer base, and how the pandemic impacted both building the app and attracting users.

We touch on the fascinating topic of biofeedback and VR, and how this combo could be used in the next decade and beyond. Celine talks about Flowly’s exciting plans for the future, about her background in the film industry, and how she transitioned into being an entrepreneur.
