Overview
The name 'Roon' honors the courage of patients, the dedication of caregivers, and the expertise of doctors. It's a tribute to Vikram's father, Arun, who bravely fought ALS, and our CTO Arun, who cares for his father with dementia. The name also contains "Ro," recognizing the critical role played by outstanding physicians and science communicators like Rohan, our Chief Medical Officer. Spelled backwards, "Roon" becomes "Noor," meaning "light in darkness," symbolizing our mission to be a sanctuary for those facing health challenges.
