Laura Yecies

Viagra changed sex. Ozempic changed weight. Osteoboost is coming for your brittle bones.

Laura Yecies is a 4x tech CEO with 30+ years in Silicon Valley.

She led SugarSync from zero revenue to $25M.

She sold Catch.com to Apple.

She’s held executive roles at Yahoo, Netscape, and Check Point.

She’s launched cloud platforms, mobile apps, and cybersecurity products.

But today, she’s solving something way more personal: osteopenia, the silent precursor to osteoporosis.

Yecies, a mom of 4 and grandmother of 1 (soon to be 2), is active, healthy, and disciplined.

She hikes the Stanford Dish. Eats clean. Takes calcium.

Still, her bone loss kept progressing.

Actually, 50 million Americans are currently losing their bones.

So in 2020, she became CEO of Osteoboost, a health tech company on a mission to preserve bone strength in postmenopausal women using breakthrough, drug-free innovation.

And in 2024, the FDA agreed… Osteoboost became the first ever prescription, drug-free device approved to treat osteopenia.

The tech is wild.

It’s inspired by NASA research used to counteract bone loss in zero gravity.

It delivers targeted mechanical stimulation via a wearable belt that wraps around the hips.

It looks like a fanny pack, but it’s pure science.

In clinical trials, women using Osteoboost at least 3x/week saw 85% less spinal bone density loss and 83% less bone strength loss.

The best part? Zero serious device-related adverse events.

It works during everyday standing/walking. Just 30 minutes a day.

At $995, it's not covered by insurance, but it qualifies for FSA/HSA and can be prescribed via telehealth.

The belt transmits low amplitude, high frequency vibrations to the spine and hips.

These signals trigger new bone cell activity.

Like a workout for your skeleton, no jumping required.

It’s ideal for women who can’t do high-impact exercise due to joint pain or other conditions.

That’s why Osteoboost made TIME’s Best Inventions of 2025.

She’s also an executive mentor, an Entrepreneur-in-Residence at DigitalDx Ventures, a strategic advisor, and a board member across multiple orgs.

Her mission? To make bone health as mainstream as menopause symptoms.
