founder & ceo

Aaron J. Horowitz

Aaron’s superpower is that his passion is infectious - he gets people excited about doing well by doing good. Growing up with human growth hormone deficiency inspired his mission to create technology that puts patients at the center of their own healthcare.

Aaron is a maker at heart; on a daily basis, you can catch him switching easily from building new business partnerships to carving foam prototypes. Perhaps more than anything, Aaron loves being in the ocean - surfing, diving, and splashing around.

founder & cTo

Joel B. Schwartz

Joel leads engineering and development, from prototype to mass production. Day to day, he draws from a background in mechanical engineering and clinical research, an endless curiosity, and his drive to improve quality of life for people in their most vulnerable moments.

If we have to choose one, Joel’s superpower is his curiosity and tenacity to wrangle the unknown, the complex, and the abstract into structure and process. Two of his favorite hobbies are fly fishing and cooking.
