My name is Charles and I want to tell you why I started Knapsack Health. The problem is the public, patients, mothers, fathers, caretakers, etc, do not have a way to obtain the complete health history for themselves and their loved ones in any form, much less a convenient and easy to maintain/use. My father taught me growing up that if you see a problem you should fix it - if you can...I think this team can, one step at a time, one day at a time, one version at a time. I’m excited to have pulled this team together and to take on the issues that are currently plaguing independent providers and patients through the US.
