It is your body. It is the only body you will ever have. Your health journey is a lesson for the rest of humanity.

You’ve been paying for it your entire life. Your very existence is a goldmine of data. And it is worth more than any other type of data.

Your data is widely sold, stolen, hacked, monetized, and abused. And you are completely unaware of this.

You are (and will be) generating more of it. But your data is homeless, scattered, and not secure. It can only be made secure by decentralizing it.

It is legally owned by hospitals, doctors, & insurance companies. Hospitals can’t or won’t share it with you. Your doctor won’t bother giving you a copy of it. Insurance companies exist to turn a profit, not provide for what is best for you.

You need this data far more than your hospital, doctor, or insurance company. But you can’t get to it. You would like to share it for medical research. But you can’t. You want to find answers to questions about your own health. But all you can’t.

Your electronic health record was designed to maximize billing, not help your health. Your electronic record is scattered across several hospitals, doctors, and insurance companies. But no one has the full picture.

You can handle the truth. You must own your data. It is your civil right. It will save your life.

Cancer can be beaten. But it needs all of us to work together. Technology cannot do much if we continue living in our trenches.

It is why we wake up every morning. We are doctors, scientists, engineers, and builders. Technology propelled us to the moon. But technology is unable to transport your data to the next doctor. We’ve come to solve this problem once and for all. And it starts with you.

This is Jori. This is the future of healthcare.
