Brains behind our innovation
Dr Troy Anderson
Founder and CEO
I'm the guy behind this Healthtech venture. Picture this: a kid from Lancaster, California, amidst chickens and turkeys, dreaming big. That kid was me! Fast forward through years of hitting the books at Loma Linda University and a thrilling stint as Chief Resident at the University of Alabama, Birmingham. Then, imagine 12 action-packed years in the US Navy – think heroic rescues and commendations!
But here’s the twist: all those adventures showed me something was missing in healthcare – better medication management and accountability. So, I rolled up my sleeves and founded Phoenix Neurology and Sleep Medicine. That was just the warm-up. Now, with our startup, we're not just practicing medicine; we're reinventing it with a dash of tech magic and a whole lot of heart, making healthcare smarter and more about you, the patient. Welcome to our world, where healthcare meets innovation and fun! 🚀💊👩⚕️👨⚕️

CTO
I'm the tech wizard with a Master's in Engineering, a knack for IoT and AI, and a heart for healthcare. My adventure began with a real-life puzzle – ensuring my family stuck to their meds. This quest led me to craft a nifty pill monitoring box, which, guess what? Zoomed into the Top 10 Social Innovations in India by NASSCOM, Facebook, and CNBC-18 in 2016!
Then, at a US conference, I bumped into Dr. Troy Anderson, and voilà – PillNurse was born! Think of it as a smart, cloud-based genie in a box, dispensing pills with AI brilliance. Our mission? To give medication management a cool tech makeover, promising healthier outcomes and spot-on adherence.
Coming from India, a vibrant land of a billion stories and a few too many healthcare challenges, I saw a gigantic opportunity to ramp up access to healthcare. So here we are, mixing technology, healthcare, and a sprinkle of fun, all to make sure quality care reaches every corner. Welcome to our world, where health meets tech and everything gets a bit more awesome! 🌟💊🚀🇮🇳
