Our Story
Ushering in a a new model of healthcare
Measured Wellness began when physician Michael Kurisu, DO, met scientist Larry Smarr, PhD.
For more than 20 years, Dr. Smarr tracked his own health data daily, proving that continuous monitoring can reveal patterns, anticipate changes, and transform care.
​
Inspired, Dr. Kurisu partnered with tech entrepreneur Parveen Panwar to make this approach accessible to everyone. Together, they combined clinical expertise with advanced technology to turn health monitoring data into meaningful insights.
​
Today, Measured Wellness empowers patients and providers with proactive, personalized care—extending support beyond the doctor’s office and helping people achieve lasting wellness.
