About HealthMatch

I founded HealthMatch in 2017 after witnessing the immense challenges patients face in accessing clinical trials.

During my final years of medical school, I worked in neuro-oncology research focused on Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), an incurable and aggressive brain cancer. In the lab, I learned of two young people in their thirties with the same diagnosis. The woman, whose father was a doctor, successfully navigated the system and joined a trial—she's alive today. The young man's parents, unaware trials were an option, shared their story after he had passed away.

It was heartbreaking to see how access to trials depended so heavily on a doctor's knowledge or geographic location. Determined to change this, I founded HealthMatch to empower patients with the knowledge and access they deserve. By connecting patients to clinical trials and reaching a global audience, we can accelerate the development of new medicines and ensure no one is left behind.
