Capstone Project Abstract:

The student is working with Leap of Faith Technologies, Inc. on the TheraCare.AI project, which aims to improve how families and clinics manage health information. The initiative focuses on developing an app that consolidates medication information and medical records for a patient (and their family members) all in one place, including an AI-powered companion to help users understand and interact with their health data. By reducing the confusion and inefficiencies that come from outdated or scattered information, TheraCare.AI hopes to streamline clinical visits and improve patient outcomes. The student is excited to apply his healthcare background and contribute meaningful feedback to the development of this innovative tool.

Why did you choose ESTEEM?

I chose ESTEEM to bridge my background in science with my passion for entrepreneurship. While I’ve always been fascinated by how the human body works and the healthcare system, I’ve also been driven by a desire to build something of my own. I’ve known for a long time that I wanted to turn ideas into action and create something impactful. ESTEEM felt like the perfect place to do that. As a longtime admirer of Notre Dame, I was drawn to its supportive community, incredible resources, and powerful alumni network. I knew that ESTEEM would give me the tools and mentorship to take bold ideas and make them real.

What do you hope to do after ESTEEM

After ESTEEM, I plan to work in the healthcare field, ideally applying AI and innovative technologies to help as many people as possible. I'm open to opportunities at both startups and larger organizations and look forward to using the strong network and connections I’ve built at Notre Dame to make a meaningful impact.

What do you like to do in your free time?

In my free time, I’m usually finding something to stay active or try new things, whether that’s hitting the gym, catching a sunset hike, or exploring new places with friends. I’m always up for something spontaneous, especially if it leads to a good story.
