Hi everyone! I'm Naveen, the founder of TrueKin.

I want to share a little about why I started building TrueKin. Because honestly, it started with my own family.

My father takes multiple medications, and I realised that I barely know my parents' complete medical history. Growing up, I watched my parents go through something similar with my grandparents. Every time they visited the doctor, they would carry a thick file filled with hundreds of prescriptions, medical reports and test results, trying to piece together what had happened over the years.

There was no easy way to understand how their health had progressed, what medications had changed, what treatments had worked, or what the doctor had prescribed last year.

I also saw my uncle and other family members constantly reminding their children to take vitamins, supplements and medicines. Yet, despite all the reminders, people would forget. And eventually, nobody really knew what had been taken, missed or changed.

But the problem went much deeper.

Doctors often struggle to understand a patient's medical history, especially when they visit someone new. A family doctor might know everyone in the family, understand their history and even be aware of hereditary conditions. But what happens when you move cities, travel abroad or need emergency treatment at an unfamiliar hospital?

One incident in particular stayed with me. A family member was hospitalised, and the doctors weren't aware of their allergy history. An incorrect medication was administered, making the situation worse. The people accompanying them simply didn't have access to that critical information.

I've also seen friends and family living abroad struggle to get medical opinions, coordinate healthcare for their parents back home, or even understand what's happening with their loved ones.

And I kept asking myself:

Why is something as important as our health history scattered across paper files, WhatsApp messages, prescriptions and our memories? Why is it so difficult for families to stay informed and involved in each other's healthcare?

That's what led me to start TrueKin.

I started discussing these experiences with some of my friends from school and college. What surprised me was that they had witnessed almost exactly the same problems within their own families and circles. Different stories, different experiences, but the same underlying problem.

We realised this wasn't just something my family was going through. It was something so many families could relate to. And together, we decided to build something that could make a difference.

I envision a world where every individual has their health history organised in one place, where medication routines are easier to manage, where families can stay informed about their loved ones, and where doctors have access to the information they need to make better-informed decisions.

I know we cannot solve every healthcare problem overnight. But I believe we can start by solving one fundamental problem: making health information accessible, organised and easier to manage.

We're building TrueKin with this belief.

This is deeply personal to all of us, and I hope it resonates with some of you too.

Because taking care of our health shouldn't depend on how well we remember things or how carefully we preserve a stack of papers.

We'd love for you to be part of this journey. ❤️
