A personal mission
PKD Compass was inspired by my family’s experience with Polycystic Kidney Disease.
Watching my mom and uncle manage the condition, and understanding the impact it had on my grandfather, made it clear how much effort goes into staying organized and informed.
What stood out most was the constant need to track, remember, and manage information across different platforms and providers. This project began as a way to solve that problem—by creating something structured, calm, and genuinely useful for the PKD community.
Built from Empathy
Every decision we make is guided by the real-world experiences of patients and their families.
Why I built this
Personal Connection
Seeing first-hand the challenges of chronic care management within my family.
Observation
Identifying the lack of coordinated, kidney-specific tracking tools for patients.
Vision
Creating a centralized system that improves clarity and reduces the burden of management.
