Our story

Built by caregivers,
for caregivers

AltuWell was built from real life caregiving experiences and the belief that families managing chronic conditions deserve better tools to manage complex care.

AltuWell puts medication reminders, symptom tracking, health records, and family coordination in one simple, secure place designed by people with firsthand experience navigating chronic conditions, caregiving, and long term health journeys. People who know that exhausted families don't need more features to track. They need fewer things to worry about.

Why we exist

Caring for someone shouldn’t mean carrying the chaos alone.

Millions of families coordinate complex care with sticky notes, group texts, and memory. We believe the people doing that work deserve software built with the same care they give. Private by default, simple enough for the whole family, and quietly there when it matters most.

The founders

The people behind AltuWell

Heidi Kuyper

Founder & CEO

When her husband survived a near-fatal motorcycle accident, Heidi stepped into caregiving. Her husband was later diagnosed with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia, Eosinophilic Esophagitis, and Chronic Sinusitis. In the midst of it all, they were raising two children, one hospitalized for asthma just hours after their youngest was born. Juggling medications, test results, symptoms, and specialist appointments while working full time became Heidi's daily reality.

After years of searching for a tool that didn't exist, she set out to build it herself.

Jordan Kanter

Co-founder & CTO

Jordan spent a decade building privacy-first health software before his CML diagnosis. He understood the technical side of protecting sensitive data — and felt firsthand how fragile day-to-day coordination really was.

When he and Heidi met, the mission was clear: build the tool they both wished had existed, and treat privacy as the foundation rather than an afterthought.

We’re not building this from the outside looking in. We’re building the thing we wished we had at 2 a.m., when one more reminder slipped through the cracks.

What we believe

Our Values

Privacy first

Health data is sacred. Encryption in transit and at rest, US-only storage, and never sold — ever.

Built with, not for

Every feature is shaped by caregivers, patients, and privacy professionals who use it daily.

Calm by design

The goal isn’t more notifications. It’s fewer worries and a little more peace of mind.
