A doctor. A caregiver. A son.
I have been on all sides of healthcare—as a doctor, a patient, and a caregiver. But the experience that shaped me most was caring for my mother, Nuri, during her battle with metastatic breast cancer.
She was given six months to live. Her oncologist recommended surgery that would have left her immobilized for most of that time. Instead, she chose to take control of her health, turning to natural medicine, science-backed therapies, and a relentless will to improve her quality of life. She lived for eighteen months, in less pain and with more dignity than anyone predicted.
But as we navigated my mother’s care, I saw how confusing and fragmented the system really was—not just for us, but for countless families in similar situations. Even with our health knowledge and advocacy skills, we struggled to put the pieces together. And I couldn’t help but wonder—if it was this overwhelming for us, how do those with fewer resources or language barriers stand a chance?
That question has driven me ever since.
I became a doctor to be the physician I wish my mother had. One who listens. One who respects patient choices. One who helps people understand their health, not just react to it.
But I knew I needed to do more than practice medicine. I needed to fix the way patients experience healthcare.
That’s why I founded NuriQ and created our first tool, Doctor Notes.
Doctor Notes exists because patients deserve clarity. Too many people—especially those with chronic illnesses, the elderly, and those navigating complex medical decisions—walk out of doctor’s offices feeling lost. Conversations move fast. Information is forgotten. Well-meaning family members ask, “What did the doctor say?”—and you’re left scrambling to recall it all.
Doctor Notes changes that.
With AI-generated summaries, multilingual support, and secure, private data encryption, Doctor Notes ensures that you walk away from every medical visit informed and in control. Your care is simplified. Your family stays updated. Your health information stays yours—private, protected, and accessible whenever you need it.
I built Doctor Notes to empower patients and disrupt the medical status quo. Because healthcare shouldn’t be confusing. It shouldn’t leave you overwhelmed. It should help you stay healthy, thrive, and make decisions with confidence.
This is my mission. This is my purpose. This is Doctor Notes by NuriQ.
Join us in reshaping healthcare—because your health should always be in your hands.

Our mission is to empower people worldwide with clear, trustworthy, and actionable healthcare information—so they can confidently understand, manage, and share their care, no matter where they are or what language they speak.
We are building the healthcare platform of the future—one that is decentralized, patient-driven, and designed for autonomy. With Doctor Notes, users can record their medical visits, gain AI-powered insights, and actively manage their health with full ownership of their medical records.
We envision a world where people leave their medical visits feeling informed and equipped with the tools they need to stay healthy. A world where medical information is no longer fragmented but accessible, shareable, and truly useful.
At NuriQ, we believe technology and AI should serve individuals and communities, not corporations. We are reimagining healthcare to put control back into the hands of the people, ensuring that a lifetime of medical experiences can be synthesized into a clear, coherent story. A future where complex conditions are understood, continuity of care is effortless, and every person has the autonomy to manage their health on their terms.
You control your health journey and your information.
No jargon—just clear, human-friendly medical insights.
Your data stays private. Always.
We’re your healthcare companion—not just your tool.
Built for caregivers, non-English speakers, and real-world families.
