Nell Meosky Luo: Founder & CEO

My younger brother has CVID, an immunodeficiency. Over the course of 20+ years, my mom has accumulated a wealth of knowledge about his condition.

Our family’s journey with health care inspired me to study public health. During my studies, I saw how clinicians and researchers still struggle to understand how treatments work for different groups of patients. The promise of personalized medicine is not yet realized.

Eventually, I recognized that the data I was looking for did exist – it was just in my mom’s head and within her many, many notebooks.

 
 

Dan Toffling: Co-Founder & CTO

As the father of a child with Down Syndrome, I was drawn to the idea of improving care quality by empowering patients and families.

After years working in the agency and e-commerce world, I was looking for an opportunity to work on something meaningful. Nell put out an ad for a co-founder with a technical background and a first-hand understanding of managing a chronic condition.

We’re well on our way to revolutionizing diagnostics, clinical care, self-management, and clinical research.

Over the past five years, we’ve developed a way to capture the valuable insights of patients and caregivers, and make them accessible to thought-leaders and researchers developing novel therapies and improving the standard of care. We’ve won numerous awards, have been featured on podcasts and in the news, and were even chosen to be one of two startup representatives to Governor Charlie Baker’s Massachusetts Digital Health Council. Recently, we’ve been working with the Massachusetts General - Brigham COVID-19 Task Force to apply our work to local and national coronavirus response efforts.
