Good health is our most valuable asset

People talk to me about their healthcare all the time – that comes with the territory. What I have learned from countless interactions is that we all have a healthcare story, some trivial, some more dramatic.

My own journey was related to a back issue that bothered me for a long time. I ran from doctor to doctor, trying to figure out what was wrong and how I could be helped. In the process, the same tests were repeated over and over again – it was draining. But I didn’t grasp the severity of the underlying systemic problem until I started working at a medical start up, providing patients with second opinions to improve their care. It was disheartening to see all those people going through what I had experienced, often for much more severe illnesses. Often, patients were not able to receive an informed expert medical opinion because they did not have all their medical results on hand. Moreover, patients had a limited overview of their health in general.

As such, Medloop was born – to enable patients to have access to their full care record in their pocket, so that in the future, people can receive the help they truly need. With their own data in hand, patients cannot only avoid repetitive testing, they can detect changes at an early stage and take matters into their own hands, advocating for themselves. With Medloop, we have laid the groundwork for the fundamental changes our healthcare needs and I am confident that in the years to come, we will be able to rebuild the system.
