Just a moment...

Arun was in India at the time, and an appointment with a neurologist was hard to come by. When doctor appointments did happen, they were too short to answer all of Bhaskaran's questions. So he spent hours searching for information on Google. With the deluge of data, he wasn't sure what sources to believe. He thought there had to be a better way for patients and caregivers to get reliable information they could trust.
"Most people living with these types of hard conditions really have nowhere to turn to get answers to their common questions," says Bhaskaran, who was leading creator partnerships at Pinterest at the time. "I felt deeply motived to solve this problem through the lens of a caregiver."
So, along with a neurosurgeon, Bhaskaran co-founded Roon, a free digital health platform designed to function as an alternative to "Dr. Google." Through short Q&A videos created by vetted doctors and other health care providers, patients and caregivers get instant, credible answers to commonly asked questions for conditions including ALS and dementia, plus other conditions like brain cancer and infertility.
