Our Story

Julia Hu, our Founder, has managed her own chronic disease since childhood. While she struggled with the challenges of her condition, she dreamed of a better, more supportive, more compassionate solution that would improve access to chronic disease management and prevention tools. In 2011, she teamed up with experts from Stanford, Harvard, and MIT to found Lark.
