On December 27, 2019, during the Computer Engineering ’94 class reunion in Cebu, Philippines, Pia and Patrick, two old classmates, reconnected after many years. Amid the laughter and shared memories, a conversation sparked something more: a vision.
Pia, a practicing physical therapist, shared her daily struggles of balancing patient care with time-consuming documentation during home visits. As a computer engineer, she knew technology could ease the burden—streamline note-taking, automate reports, and ultimately improve provider efficiency without compromising patient quality of care.
Then, the pandemic struck, slowing progress but not the dream. Despite life's pause, their shared commitment never wavered.
By chance, Pia also met two other old classmates, Ellah and Charmaine, who shared the same vision and believed in its potential. What followed was a series of brainstorming sessions, virtual meetups, and passionate discussions.
All the founders are proud alumni of the University of San Carlos – Technological Center, Class of 1994, with degrees in Computer Engineering. They weren’t just classmates—some were dorm mates, roommates, thesis partners, project collaborators, and even early career colleagues. Their bond was built on trust, shared goals, and a deep understanding of each other’s capabilities, ethics, and work ethic.
Over the years, they pursued diverse paths—Patrick settled in Australia, while Pia, Ellah, and Charmaine established careers in the United States. Others made their mark in the Philippines. Despite the distance, they remained connected by a common purpose.
With decades of combined diverse experience and a shared vision for meaningful innovation, they came together to build something impactful. What started as a conversation in Cebu has grown into a company rooted in purpose—to create intuitive, intelligent solutions that solve real-world problems.
