Today, we learned the innovation and entrepreneurship in the lecture. Then I read an article about a new mobile healthcare company named Curatio. More exactly, it creates a mobile healthcare app called ThaliMe which is also a  tracking tool designed especially for people with thalassemia. This app enables patients to take a track of their health condition. Furthermore, it is helpful and convenient for clienteles to have a personalized virtual support group and get access to direct connection with healthcare professionals. Currently, Curatio wins $100,000 in the Novartis’ Global Health 2.0 Competition. Obviously it is a good news for  its co-founder, a recent UBC graduate Alireza Davoodi. These two main founders Brown-Ganzert and Alireza Davoodi are really young entrepreneurs, describing the company as ”a collective of like minded individuals, focused on creating beautiful and functional products for the health industry.” ¹

After searching this company,I found that Curatio provides autonomy and entrepreneurship for its employees. In my view, it helps employees fulfill their potential while working for Curatio. And people would hold a responsibility in their careers and emphasize their actions which will influence the business. Besides, this also  helps to cultivate a culture of entrepreneurship which is the spirit of innovation and creativity. Curatio encourages employees who like to take risks. All of these features make Curatio more successful.
