I had been a clinical nurse for eight years, and during that time I saw a problem that needed a solution. I imagined a world where nurses could provide personalized help for individuals who were overwhelmed with healthcare. As a PhD student, I was introduced to the HEALab and at that moment, I realized, “Oh my gosh, I have this idea and there’s a campus resource to help me start building it.
