Re: Reality check?
MRI images from a consumer wearable? Given the cost of an MRI, that indeed could be world-changing for many people.
The ability for technology to bring down the costs of medical care is going to help extend people's lives. That seems like a more interesting pursuit over working at Facebook.

Let's reframe this for what it is. There is HUGE financial opportunity -- especially for experienced tech-heads from Silicon Valley -- in next-gen medical technologies. Jepsen did not leave her company to be a missionary in a developing nation. She's pursuing another business opportunity.

Re: Reality check?
I admire Jepsen's decision. It seems people these days are increasingly finding happiness in doing the things they really want to do rather than staying at jobs just because of a position or high pay. May she one day find a cure for breast cancer.

Reality check?
Best wishes to her. Curing diseases seems a nobler calling than building & selling $1,500 VR headsets. How MRI images on a consumer wearable can do that is beyond me, though I'm no M.D., or even Ph.D as Jepsen is (Optical Sciences, Brown).
