About Us

OUR STORY

We’re not just another tech company – we’re a team of passionate individuals who’ve experienced the power of data-driven wellness firsthand.

Our journey began with Parveen, an entrepreneur who battled long Covid in 2021. During his recovery, Parveen discovered the healing power of breath, which sparked a new passion for health and wellness. This led him to create a breathing app in 2023, but Parveen envisioned something bigger – a bridge between personal wellness and professional healthcare.

Dr. Michael Kurisu was already revolutionizing patient care through digital methods, using Oura Rings to continuously monitor his patients’ health during the pandemic. When Parveen and Dr. Kurisu met, their shared vision for transforming healthcare through technology resonated deeply. Their aligned passion sparked an exciting collaboration, setting the stage for Ziva’s groundbreaking approach.

As our story unfolded, Tom Andriola’s journey intersected with ours in a serendipitous way. Tom’s own experiences had shown him that as he aged, he didn’t feel as good until he decided to embrace data-based wellness with a few lifestyle changes. This personal transformation, combined with his 25 years of experience at the intersection of technology, data, and healthcare, made Tom seem destined to join our team. He became our third co-founder, and his expertise in leveraging AI for better health outcomes added a crucial dimension to our vision.

We’re individuals who have faced our own health challenges and are deeply committed to improving healthcare for everyone. With Ziva, we’re turning our experiences and expertise into a tool that empowers both patients and healthcare providers.
