OUR STORY
Why we started Mohana
Sometimes hard things can transform into the seeds of something new and beautiful. The story behind Mohana is no different. Three years ago, our founder, Dora, found out that her mother had ovarian cancer. Her health journey alone with PCOS was nothing compared to seeing a loved one go through this experience. Many of us learn to master the art of treating our symptoms as normal, just because "others have this too". But when you witness first-hand what untreated symptoms can escalate to, it is hard to accept that.
While we could speak volumes about the pain that led us to create Mohana, the real takeaway perhaps lies here: Every woman should have a chance to turn their health around when it is still early, not treat symptoms as normal, and feel empowered to make their symptoms heard.
OUR TEAM
Meet the people behind Mohana
We are an interdisciplinary team of scientists and engineers, united over a shared passion for using science and technology to create better health outcomes for women. We're fortunate to be joined by a team of medical advisors from endocrinology, gynecology, and nutrition science, to realize our vision for a precision platform that empowers women to be the champions of their own health.
Dóra Jámbor
Co-Founder & CEO
As a scientist from MILA, the world's top research institute for AI, and as an ex-data scientist from Shopify with a background in personalization and recommender systems, Dora is passionate about using data to personalize healthcare and help people understand their own biology better. Outside of Mohana, she is an avid runner, a passionate yogi and a wannabe-contemporary dancer!
Andrew Polidori
Co-Founder & CTO
Andrew is a repeat-founder with more than a decade of experience in cloud, devops and web engineering. As a long-term biohacker himself, he could not be more excited to combine his passion for precision health with Mohana's mission. He knows that no two people are the same, so why should their health treatments be? When he's not hacking on cloud architecture, he loves rock climbing, cooking and bothering his cat.
