About
There is an island in the Aegean Sea where people live extremely long lives. They’re happy, too. Families are close. They eat well. They exercise. And they stay connected with each other, and not just by smartphone. This got us thinking. What if we apply what we learn from the Blue Zone island of Ikaria (our namesake), add pioneering technology and exabytes of data, and help healthcare connect better with everyone? We’ll have a lot more healthy, happy people, and that’s a pretty good thing.
Healthcare today is nothing short of amazing. Yet all of it only works when people connect with it. And too often, they don’t. Healthcare can be impersonal. Confusing. All elbows.
