Rarecast

Nell Meosky Luo remembers the way her mother use to keep extensive journals documenting the symptoms and treatments of her brother, who has a rare immune disorder. It served as inspiration for Folia Health, which has developed a platform that allows patients and caregivers to maintain health records, manage their conditions, and communicate with their physicians. We spoke to Luo, founder and CEO of Folia Health, about how patients are using the platform, its potential to gather real-world data, and how the data it gathers could be used to advance the understanding of rare diseases.
