About Dr. Mark McDonald

Mark McDonald, MD, MS, is a board-certified neurologist dedicated to modernizing neurological care through the use of new technology.

He founded Syntrillo Health to solve these challenges, offering patients specialist appointments in days rather than months. By integrating in-home wearables and remote monitoring, Dr. McDonald provides continuous oversight of cardiovascular and neurological health—rather than a limited snapshot during a one time visit.
