In this episode of the ThinkData Podcast, I sat down with Nell Meosky Luo, CEO and Co-Founder of Folia Health, a health-tracking platform redefining how chronic and rare conditions are monitored and understood.

Folia was born from a deeply personal experience within Nell’s own family, where traditional healthcare systems failed to capture the nuance of day-to-day patient life. Today, Folia turns those everyday observations into structured, research-ready data that clinicians, researchers, and families can actually act on.

We explore:

• The founding story and how personal lived experience shaped Folia’s mission

• What makes Folia different from traditional patient-tracking or EPRO tools

• Why AI is only as powerful as the underlying data, and how Folia closes the real-world data gap

• How the team has scaled headcount and capability following their Series A

• How Mosaic is giving patients unprecedented control over research participation

• The future of AI-driven, patient-led insights

This conversation is a must-listen for anyone working in digital health, AI, chronic condition management, or patient-reported outcomes.
