People

We are a team of patients, scientists, health care providers and health IT innovators who believe in patient-centered, team-based care and research. We are passionate about improving health outcomes and quality of life, and empowering holistically supported patients. We come together in an authentic partnership to reimagine and reshape patients’ care and health research. We experience firsthand how traditional care delivery paradigms do not effectively leverage the incredible human potential of patients and their physicians, and how research does not sufficiently address the real-world needs of patients and those who care for them. As patients, researchers, clinicians and biomedical technologists, we understand the imperfection of the human body, the limitations of science and the incompleteness of information. We add the power of tailored technology to integrate, contextualize and use health data caringly, objectively and productively. Our enduring commitment is to establish a new reality of integrated, connected quality care and of relevant, collaborative research.

What are facts? In themselves, even if correct and not distorted by [...] bias, facts cannot only be meaningless, they can be untrue by their very selection, taking attention away from what is relevant, or scattering and fragmenting one’s thinking so much that one is less capable of making meaningful decisions the more “information” one has received. The selection of facts implies evaluation and choice.The awareness of this is a necessary condition of making rational use of facts.

— Erich Fromm in the "The Revolution of Hope: Toward a Humanized Technology" (1968)
