M.D., CEO and Co-founder, Inmedix
Biography
Andrew Holman is a clinical rheumatologist who discovered and published the role of dopamine agonists (Parkinson's disease medications) as a leading treatment for fibromyalgia (FM). This work, combined with the immunology training of rheumatology, led to exploration of how stress impacts autoimmune disease onset, activity, treatment response and potential remission. The concept is called immuno-autonomics and it is revolutionizing how doctors address stress biology, first in autoimmune disease, and next, in other diseases adversely impacted by stress.

Stress as a missing vital sign
Vital signs have widespread integration into health and stress should be included. Stress is biology, controlled by the autonomic nervous system (ANS) within the brain. Divided into two continuously competing components, the sympathetic (fight-or-flight) and parasympathetic (restrestorative) jockey for influence of nearly every human physiology.Finally, it can be measured with FDA-cleared precision.
Clinical Dx Showcase:
Inmedix
CloudHRV from Seattle-based Inmedix is FDA-cleared, reimbursed, 5-min, next-generation heart rate variability (HRV) in the clinic on a high-fidelity ECG platform. It is first and only to bring discrete indices of sympathetic (fight-or-flight) and parasympathetic (rest/restorative) state to the clinic as a missing vital sign.
Session Abstract – PMWC 2026 Silicon Valley
The PMWC 2026 Data Applications in Clinical Diagnostics Showcase will provide a 15-30 minute time slot for selected organizations, including commercial companies, clinical testing labs, and medical research institutions, to present their latest advancements, insights, applications, and technologies to an audience of clinicians, leading investigators, academic institutions, pharma and biotech, investors, and potential clients. We will learn about new technologies and findings that promise expedited, cost-effective, and accurate clinical diagnosis for early disease detection, treatment decisions, and disease prevention.
