Kristy Dickinson

Kristy Dickinson

Founder & CEO

I took a healthcare solution from idea to acquisition by a global Fortune 10 organization — an experience that taught me what it truly takes to turn a concept into a scalable, successful product. That journey was shaped by my lived experience as both a complex patient and a caregiver.

I've always believed that meaningful innovation happens through real conversations with patients, caregivers, and providers. Co-creation isn't a process to me — it's the foundation of every solution I build.

Today, I work with healthcare founders, startups, and organizations to help them bring their ideas to life with clarity, strategy, and purpose. This chapter of my career is about helping others build what's next in healthcare — and ensuring patient voices are part of every step.

David Reynolds

CTO

I've been building digital products for over 20 years using best-in-class technologies across healthcare, telecommunications, and influencer marketing. I've worked with pre-funded startups, funded startups, established businesses, and large international corporations.

Sometimes I've taken an idea on a post-it note and made it into a digital solution. I've run multiple successful development teams developing market-leading products. My passion is solving complex problems with products and solutions that leave a lasting impact.
