In this inspiring episode of the She Built It® Podcast, host Melanie Barr speaks with inventor and tech entrepreneur Sharon Samjitsingh, co-founder and CEO of Health Care Originals. Driven by her lifelong struggle with asthma, Sharon shares how her personal story and professional expertise in innovation led her to build life-changing wearable tech that helps people with chronic respiratory diseases.
Kingscrowd’s Léa Bouhelier-Gautreau and Teddy Lyons sit down with Health Care Originals co-founder & CEO Sharon Samjitsingh to unpack Nightingale — a flexible torso-worn sensor that “listens” to lung sounds, flags flare-ups before they strike, and pairs members with live respiratory therapists.
Sharon Samjitsingh—CEO & co-founder of Health Care Originals (HCO)—reveals how her Nightingale™ platform combines a discreet torso-wearable and proprietary AI to forecast respiratory attacks up to three months in advance, sparing patients ER visits and saving insurers millions. Recorded at Kingscrowd’s Atlanta Startup Showcase (June 2025).
Sharon Samjitsingh struggled with asthma since birth, an experience that inspired her to launch Health Care Originals (HCO) with her husband, Jared Dwarika. Their solution—the Nightingale Virtual Respiratory Care Program—combines a discreet wearable device with a mobile app and self-management education to help users manage their asthma and even prevent attacks.
