Our mission is to make proven, research-backed rehab available to millions of heart patients worldwide.
3 out of the 4 biggest killers in the world are related to cardiovascular disease. Peer-reviewed research indicates that cardiac rehabilitation reduces cardiovascular deaths by nearly 45% and the risk of hospital admissions by 30%.
of all Carda Patients say they feel significantly better after just 12 weeks
Even in the US, with the most advanced healthcare system in the world, fewer than 15% of qualifying patients access these life-saving therapies.
We are a team who has lived through chronic disease ourselves and seen the transformative effects of exercise based rehab on our own families.
We are scientists who conduct rigorous, peer-reviewed research and disseminate our findings widely.
We are clinicians who understand the value of new care delivery models and how transformational they can be for patient health.
We are mathematicians and data scientists who believe in harnessing data to improve existing therapies, and who understand that at scale we can do exponentially more good for the world.
We are macro optimists and micro pessimists who know that creating a better future is only ever found in sweating every minor detail.
A world where any person who suffers from a life threatening chronic condition can access world class heart rehabilitation therapies and be given a new lease on life.
We care for our members, we care for each other and we care for ourselves.
We think about problems from 1st principles and test our hypotheses constantly.
The only moat is continuous execution and we obsess over that every day.
We admit when we are wrong. We check our egos and get to the right answer.
We take our work seriously but not too seriously.
