Leadership Team
A proven track record in the healthcare field.
James Spelts
CEO - Chief Strategic Officer
I’m thrilled and humbled to be a part of Pulse Braincare. I have the opportunity to change the lives of our courageous and amazing patients, patients who I have a personal connection with. My purpose within Pulse comes through my love and devotion to my wife Lauren, and my two children, Dash and Taylor Gray. They give me direction and motivation to have a positive impact on my community and our patients.
It’s natural for me to be passionate about something like MeRT, and to help provide relief for such a unique and incredible patient population like ours. A patient population that is looking for durable, long-term relief. My experience comes from my history of building teams and creating successful companies that represent and support emerging and effective healthcare solutions.
Behavioral health and mental health are complex spaces to treat, the brain is a complex organ. They encompass very unique and complex pathologies; no single patient is like the other in terms of their unique brainwave pattern. Every patient has a unique need, and requires a one-of-a-kind plan or protocol.
MeRT is the next generation treatment modality that has the potential to crack the diverse and complex code of brain synchronization, reducing or in some cases, eliminating patient symptoms. Pulse and MeRT address the root cause, or the pathology itself, within each patient. This approach in itself, is a paradigm shift in the treatment of behavioral health and mental health disorders.
Dr. David Ou-Yang
COO – Chief Technology Officer
Dr. David Ou-Yang is an orthopedic spine surgeon with an undergraduate degree in engineering. Dr. Ou-Yang has a passion for patient care and invests every effort into improving patient outcomes. Dr. Ou-Yang has extensive experience with patient-specific protocols to address complex spine surgery, and has always adopted the most innovative and impactive technologies to his practice.
As a spine surgeon, Dr. Ou-Yang evaluates patients in his clinic, and has a series of in-depth conversations to assess their symptoms and underlying pathologies to achieve better outcomes. His patients often suffer the effects of anxiety, PTSD, or other major depressive disorders in conjunction with their spine pathology. As the COO and Chief Technology Officer at Pulse, Dr. Ou-Yang gets to create a highly effective environment that continually advances the treatment of these conditions, beyond the spine clinic. Data driven, transparent outcomes are his paramount focus at Pulse Braincare.
Passionate about innovative treatments like MeRT, Abel spent over a decade of his life serving others —first as a first responder, and later working in the Emergency Department during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Those years gave him a deep understanding of the toll that chronic stress, trauma, and emotional suppression can take—not just on the body, but on the brain.
After witnessing so much suffering, Abel felt compelled to help in a different way—one that focused on healing what can’t always be seen. That calling led him to join Wave Neuroscience in 2021, where he was introduced to MeRT (Magnetic e-Resonance Therapy).
“Out of curiosity and a desire for personal growth, I decided to undergo a brain scan myself. What I saw changed everything. After starting MeRT therapy, I experienced firsthand how powerful this technology can be in restoring balance, clarity, and emotional connection.
Today, I’m proud to be part of Pulse Braincare, where I get to help others experience that same sense of renewal. The mission at Pulse—to help patients live happier, healthier, more fulfilled lives—resonates with my personal mission to empower patients to understand their brain function, reclaim their well-being, and feel more like themselves again.”
Outside the clinic, Abel finds balance and purpose in his family.
“My wife and our two kids keep me grounded, and I cherish our time together—whether it’s biking, exploring national parks, or simply being present with one another. These moments keep me connected to what matters most.
“If you’re seeking healing, clarity, or a new direction, I’m honored to walk that journey with you.”
