About us

Two healthcare people. Also two moms.

Parul and Sveta have spent their careers inside healthcare — the systems, the records, the handoffs, the places where a person's story gets flattened into a form. They also raised kids through the iPhone era, which means they know exactly what modern health communication looks like: a blurry photo at 10pm, three words of context, and a parent typing back a dozen questions to figure out what's actually going on.

The idea started there. What if the questions came first — asked kindly, in the moment, by something that listens? What if a teen could answer for themselves, in their own words, and end up owning a real record of their own health instead of a scattered text thread? Not a diagnosis. Not a chart someone else keeps. Their story, written by them, ready to hand to a doctor.

Parul Baxi Shah

Co-founder

A healthcare professional who has spent her career close to where care actually happens — the intake forms, the handoffs, the ten minutes a clinician gets to understand a whole person. She's also a mom who has fielded her share of late-night texts that open with a blurry photo and close with twenty questions. She wants teens to be able to describe their own bodies clearly, long before anyone hands them a clipboard.

Sveta Saheba

Co-founder

A healthcare professional who has driven technology to improve healthcare operations — the systems that quietly decide whether a patient's story survives the trip between appointments. She's also a mom who watched her kids grow up asking a screen everything, at every hour of the night, and answering back with questions of her own. She wants teens to notice what their bodies are telling them and learn to act on it early, instead of catching up later.

Why we're building it

Between the two of us we've seen how much of a person's story goes missing between appointments, and how much of it a teenager could have captured themselves if anyone had asked them the right questions at the right moment. We're building the thing we wanted for our own kids: a calm place to describe what's happening, in their words, that they own.
