Andrew Brimer
Engineer, Entrepreneur, Builder
I turn ideas into reality.
I work at Wellinks as VP of Technology, focusing on hardware, software, R&D, & strategy. Wellinks is a virtual care & medical device company that pairs telehealth with wearable biosensors and AI/ML to catch problems early, helping people with chronic respiratory & cardiac conditions stay out of the hospital and live longer.
Before Wellinks, I co-founded Sparo Health, where we developed Wing (the first FDA-cleared OTC smartphone spirometer) and Lift Pulmonary Rehab, a digital platform for people with COPD. Sparo was acquired by Wellinks in 2022. Along the way, I returned to help my alma mater (WashU) through a university-wide transformation, leading the School of Medicine through a modernization of core medical, finance, and HR systems.

Explorations
I like making things, especially music: composing, improvising on piano and handpan, and experimenting with electronic sounds. I also tinker with 3D printing and electronics, explore astronomy and architecture, and experiment with procedural simulation and game design. I live near Boulder, Colorado with my partner Allie and love spending time in the mountains.
