After experiencing the constant frustration of having to pay for overpriced prescription medication, along with the struggle of trying to keep track of all her family’s prescriptions, appointments— and the lost time and money spent ordering medical records and duplicate lab tests— Priyanka knew there were millions of others with the same issues—so she decided to tackle these challenges head-on.
