ControlHF was born from a painful, preventable moment. Our co-founder watched his father return to the hospital three times in six months — each time for something the data could have caught. That grief became a mission: build the system that should have already existed.
To prevent avoidable heart failure hospitalizations through continuous, compassionate remote monitoring — so patients live more of their life outside hospital walls.
A world where no heart failure patient is readmitted for something the data already knew. Where the gap between clinic visits is filled with connection, not anxiety.
Clinical rigor without jargon. Empathy without condescension. Speed without shortcuts. We build for the patient first — and let everything else follow from that.
Cardiologists, engineers, pharmacists, and operators who've spent careers at the intersection of clinical care and technology — unified by a single, stubborn belief that heart failure outcomes can be radically better.
Interventional cardiologist trained at Johns Hopkins. Built and led the HF clinic at UCSF before stepping away to address the gap she kept seeing: patients discharged into silence. Named to Forbes Healthcare 30 Under 40 in 2022.
Previously led infrastructure at Oscar Health and Apple's HealthKit integration team. His father's readmissions in 2016 made this more than a career move. Holds 7 patents in real-time biosignal processing and edge ML.
Board-certified in advanced heart failure and transplant cardiology. Former medical director of the HF program at Cleveland Clinic. Oversaw the IRB protocols that underpin ControlHF's composite alert algorithm and authored three NEJM papers on RPM.
Twelve years scaling clinical programs at Livongo and Teladoc. Designed the nurse practitioner workflows that let ControlHF's clinical team manage panels 3x larger than traditional HF disease management programs without sacrificing response time.
Clinical pharmacist specializing in heart failure guideline-directed medical therapy optimization. Designed ControlHF's medication titration support module and leads our pharmacist-in-the-loop escalation pathway for patients on complex diuretic regimens.
Worked on chronic disease management UX at Apple and Omada Health before joining ControlHF. Believes the hardest design problem in digital health is making a patient who feels fine understand why today's check-in matters. He's still working on it.
Our investors aren't just writing checks — they're health system CEOs, cardiologists, and operators who have lived the problem ControlHF is solving.
We're a small team solving a large problem. If you believe outcomes can be radically better, we'd like to talk.
