ViuHealth was founded by Kwaku Owusu, head of overall strategy and vision, and Melanie Igwe, head of business operations and partnerships, in 2019, after discovering that the one-size-fits-all blanket solutions on the market did little to improve the lives of autoimmune patients. Prior to ViuHealth, Kwaku (former CEO) and Melanie (former CCO) co-founded Ilerasoft, a medical device utilization optimization software platform that helped hospitals and health facilities use their medical assets more efficiently. 

 

Kwaku has previous experience in sales operations and products at HP Enterprise. He holds a B.A. from the University of Massachusetts and an MS/MBA from the University of Rochester. Melanie has experience in project management at Harris Health System and as a data analyst at Memorial Hermann Health System. She holds a B.A. in Economics with a minor in Mathematics from Howard University.
