In just days, I went from being a healthy college student to a chronically ill patient. Suddenly, I couldn’t stand without passing out. After days in the hospital, I was diagnosed with POTS and sent home in a wheelchair, with only a few printouts and a follow-up appointment weeks away. I felt completely alone, unsure how to adjust to my new reality.

After discharge, my points of contact were available only for major concerns, not for the countless small, confusing questions that came with managing my own care and rebuilding daily life. The space between check-ins felt isolating and overwhelming.

At the same time, my cofounder, Mina, was immersed in research on how we can use AI to improve patient outcomes. As a PhD student in Personal Health Informatics with a background in computer science, health informatics, and designing patient-centered technologies, Mina brings deep expertise in creating tools that improve health and wellness across diverse populations.

Together, we saw the same gap: patients are left without clear, supportive ways to navigate their care between touchpoints, and clinicians have no simple way to track or guide what’s happening at home. With Mina’s technical expertise and my lived experience and health system knowledge, we knew we could build something better.

That’s why we’re creating Krue, a system that reimagines how patients are supported beyond the hospital.

Together we’re building a solution that bridges the gap between hospital and home so patients and clinicians stay connected, informed, and supported across the entire care journey.
