About Health Pioneer

Vik's journey to creating Health Pioneer began with not one, but two devastating personal losses that transformed into a global mission. For years, he watched helplessly as his father battled dementia, slowly losing the brilliant mind that had guided their family. Then, just as that wound was healing, his father-in-law was diagnosed with cancer.

"Watching my father disappear into dementia was agonizing," Vik recalls. "He was a brilliant man who slowly lost his memories, his personality, everything that made him who he was. We tried everything—medications, therapies, lifestyle changes—but nothing could stop the progression. We didn't even know clinical trials for Alzheimer's and dementia existed until it was too late."

The experience repeated itself with his father-in-law's cancer diagnosis. Despite exhausting all standard treatments, Vik witnessed again how difficult it was for patients to navigate the complex world of clinical trials and experimental therapies. "The most heartbreaking part wasn't just losing them," he explains. "It was seeing how the system failed to connect desperate patients with potentially life-saving research."

With his background building successful technology platforms at Scalable Ventures and EnterpriseCorp, Vik saw an opportunity to solve a critical healthcare problem: the disconnect between patients desperately seeking treatment options and researchers struggling to find trial participants.

"Every patient we connect to a trial is a pioneer—not just for their own health, but for the millions who will benefit from the treatments they help prove effective. My father and father-in-law didn't get the chance to access these potentially life-saving trials. I'm determined to ensure other families do."
