FounderI have devoted my career to studying behavioral informatics and leveraging technology to enhance the patient experience. In 1990, I founded Leap of Faith Technologies, a digital health company focused on integrating technologies, content, and delivery strategies to improve patient compliance and healthcare outcomes. I’ve often been told that I “have my head in the clouds” and spend my free time flying my vintage Cessna, exploring our beautiful planet.
