About Us & Our Vision
Fady Attia and Grace Mak are second-year Medical Students at the University of Virginia School of Medicine. They realized that many patients struggle to find clear, reliable information about their health, and that a simple conversation can make all the difference in helping someone truly understand and take ownership of their healthcare.
Realizing how many patients do not understand medical literature and often do not (or cannot) read the healthcare packets handed to them in the hospital, Fady and Grace set out to provide patients with an accessible means of obtaining medical information without the confusion that often comes with it.
With the growing age of artificial intelligence technology, it is vital that the medical profession capitalizes such resources. This is why Fady and Grace are diligently using this powerful technology to provide patients with what modern resources failed to provide them.
