About KORU Health
Healthcare remembers your diagnosis. It often forgets your story.
KORU Health was created around a simple observation:
Most healthcare happens during appointments.
Most life happens between them.
You may spend weeks waiting for an appointment, sit down with a physician for fifteen minutes, leave with a plan, and then spend the next several months managing your health on your own.
During that time, things change.
Symptoms improve. New concerns emerge. Medications cause side effects. Questions appear when the office is closed. Important details are forgotten.
When the next appointment finally arrives, you’re expected to remember everything.
Most people can’t.
Not because they’re careless.
Because they’re human.
The result is that the most important part of your health story—the part that happens every day—often goes undocumented, unshared, and unseen.
We believe people deserve better.
Why KORU Exists
KORU was founded by David Myers after more than twenty years working inside healthcare organizations.
Throughout his career, David worked closely with physicians, hospitals, clinics, and healthcare leaders. He saw remarkable professionals delivering outstanding care under extraordinary constraints.
He also saw a recurring problem.
Patients often left appointments with good intentions and good information, but little support once they returned home.
Weeks later they couldn’t remember exactly what the doctor had said.
Months later they struggled to reconstruct when symptoms started or how they had changed.
Important details disappeared between visits.
Not because anyone failed.
Because the healthcare system was never designed to follow people through their everyday lives.
KORU was built to help bridge that gap.
What KORU Is
KORU is a personal health companion that stays with you between appointments.
Not in a clinic.
Not through a complicated portal.
Not through an app you have to remember to open.
Through simple conversations.
Your KORU companion checks in, listens, remembers, and helps you keep track of the things that matter to your health.
Over time, those conversations create something powerful:
A clearer picture of your health journey.
The symptoms that come and go.
The questions you wanted to ask.
The patterns you may not have noticed yourself.
The details that would otherwise be lost.
When it’s time to meet with your healthcare team, you arrive with more than a memory.
You arrive with your story.
What KORU Is Not
KORU is not a doctor.
KORU does not diagnose medical conditions.
KORU does not prescribe medications.
KORU does not replace physicians, nurses, therapists, or any member of your healthcare team.
Instead, KORU helps you become a more informed and engaged participant in your own care.
We believe better conversations lead to better decisions.
And better information leads to better outcomes.
Built Around Real Life
Many healthcare technologies ask people to change their behavior.
Download another app.
Learn another system.
Complete another form.
Track another metric.
Most people don’t want more technology.
They want less friction.
That’s why KORU works through a communication tool people already use every day: text messaging.
No app.
No portal.
No passwords.
No complexity.
Just a conversation.
Our Commitment
Your health is personal.
Your story belongs to you.
KORU Health will never sell your personal health information.
We will never share your conversations with advertisers.
We believe trust is earned through transparency, privacy, and respect.
Everything we build begins with that principle.
Looking Ahead
We believe the future of healthcare is not just better treatments.
It’s better continuity.
It’s helping people feel heard, remembered, and supported between appointments.
It’s recognizing that health is not something that happens a few times each year in an exam room.
It’s something that happens every day.
That’s the future we’re building toward.
And we’re glad you’re here.
