I'm currently working on Kivo Health - telehealth rehab for chronic lung disease. I trained as an Emergency Medicine doctor at Stanford and have seen firsthand how poor access to care can lead to higher acuity illness over time. I'm passionate about developing tech-enabled solutions that help people stay healthier while reducing healthcare costs.

What is the core problem you are solving? Why is this a big problem? What made you decide to work on it?
Pulmonary rehab is the gold standard for non-pharma treatment of COPD and other lung diseases. However, only 3% of eligible patients are getting this life-changing therapy, because they can’t access it: they live too far away from a rehab center, or just can’t get there in person without help. We founded Kivo Health to solve this access problem, by delivering rehab to patients over live video.
