About Our Founder

Symptone was founded by a woman of color who experienced firsthand the consequences of this educational gap. After struggling with a medical condition that took an extended time to diagnose because she couldn't find images of the condition on people who looked like her, she established Symptone to ensure others wouldn't face similar delays in care. This personal experience fuels her commitment to transforming how medical conditions are taught and visualized across all skin tones. Symptone is committed to building a diverse advisory board that represents the communities we serve. We strongly encourage applications from professionals of color and those with lived experience relevant to our mission.
