Marc Chinchapo

THIRATHADA “MARC” CHINCHAPO

AI · DATA · HEALTHCARE · BUSINESS

A scientific foundation. A strategic perspective. A practical approach to technology.

I’m Thirathada “Marc” Chinchapo, working at the intersection of healthcare, artificial intelligence and business. My foundation in physiotherapy and neurophysiology gives me an evidence-led approach to complex problems; biomedical management adds the perspective to connect science with products, people and commercial decisions.

My experience spans neuroscience research at RIKEN in Japan, biomedical strategy at Grenoble École de Management in France, healthcare entrepreneurship and international research coordination. Across these settings, I have worked with scientific data, product development, market analysis and multidisciplinary teams.

Today, my focus is dental technology and practical AI at Shanghai Pharma Thailand. Alongside this work, I am preparing Marc & Friends, a Family VC initiative with around 10 collaborators. Marc & Friends Dental is a distinct project focused on dental technology, digital tools and practical AI learning.

Marc & Friends — Family VC

Family VC initiative · Preparing to launch · Around 10 collaborators

A Family VC initiative I am preparing to launch, bringing together around 10 collaborators through my personal and professional network. Marc & Friends is the umbrella initiative; Marc & Friends Dental is a separate project within the wider ecosystem.

The network brings together perspectives from healthcare, research, technology and business. My own connections draw on education, research and innovation experiences across Thailand, Japan, France and the United States.

Marc & Friends Dental

Applied AI · Digital tools · Dental technology

A platform bringing together dental product information, digital workflows and practical AI learning. The project connects my healthcare background with product thinking: organizing complex information so clinics, hospitals and laboratories can explore relevant tools and approaches.

My focus is on practical use: product guidance, clearer digital resources and AI applications in marketing, management and business operations.

Dance-Like-Marc — TikTok

@dancelikemarc · Health communication & dance

A dance-led TikTok channel with nearly 4,000 followers. I create approachable movement and health content, using my physiotherapy background to communicate with a community interested in dance and active aging.

An estimated 80–90% of the audience are older adults, primarily women who enjoy dancing. The channel reflects my experience in audience understanding, accessible communication and community engagement.

Deep Brain Stimulation Market Strategy

Academic consulting · Grenoble École de Management · France

An academic consulting project involving the Medtronic DBS market, developed during my Advanced Master in Biomedical Management. The work brought together technical benchmarking, clinical evidence and commercial analysis to understand a changing neurological treatment landscape.

The analysis included implantable neuromodulation and infusion-based alternatives, bottom-up TAM/SAM/SOM market modeling, competitive mapping, patient segmentation and total cost of ownership. Outputs included comparative matrices and frameworks to support strategic discussion.

Machine Learning for Movement Analysis

Experimental neuroscience · RIKEN · Japan

A research project connecting high-speed behavioral recording with machine-learning analysis of freely walking Drosophila. I worked on experimental setups and gait analysis in the context of motor control and a Parkinson’s disease model.

The workflow used DeepLabCut for pose estimation, Bonsai for experimental workflows and UMAP for dimensionality reduction. This work developed my ability to connect experimental design, data preparation and the interpretation of complex behavioral patterns.

Plant Bioelectrical Signals & Machine Learning

Exploratory research prototype · Biology, data & interaction

An exploratory pilot using bioelectrical signals from a Purple Heart plant (Tradescantia pallida) for signal classification and real-time visualization. The pipeline recorded signals with an AD8232 sensor, converted recordings to mel-spectrograms and explored classification using ResNet18.

My contribution focused on connecting machine-learning experiments to real-time animations in TouchDesigner. The work remains a small experimental prototype requiring further validation; it does not establish a causal link between plant signals and human emotions.

DynaDance & CAPABLE

Healthcare innovation · Bangkok 2024 / Boston 2025

Co-developed DynaDance, a movement-focused healthcare hackathon prototype, at Siriraj × MIT Hacking Medicine in Bangkok in 2024, where the team received a Golden Ticket. I subsequently participated in MIT Grand Hack in Boston in 2025 and co-developed CAPABLE, an exploratory wearable concept for migraine-related applications.

These experiences involved multidisciplinary collaboration, problem framing and rapid concept development. Both are hackathon concepts rather than validated medical products.
