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. In this episode of Forward Faster, Sharon and Jared talk about their journey starting and scaling HCO—from the student incubator at NextCorps to a growing team filling the largest office in our downtown facility. They describe their pivot from pure software to hardware, the importance of staying true to your mission, and the value that NextCorps’ coaching and resources brought to their company. Listen to learn more about their startup story, their advice to entrepreneurs, and what’s next for the team revolutionizing respiratory care.
