Kelly D Myers

I am a Healthcare IT entrepreneur with over 30 years experience. I am currently focusing my efforts on ways to identify, integrate and mine disparate data sets to help individuals improve their own health. In biology there is a term called "hybrid vigor" or "heterosis" which refers to an offspring's superior qualities or vigor which result from crossbreeding genetically different plants or animals. Could it be that there might be an "Information Hybrid Vigor" or "Information Heterosis" realized by bringing together individual centric medical history, activity, and nutrition data to find successful patterns of behavior? Can we build an interpretative analysis engine that would recommend small behavior changes which would yield leveraged health benefits?

I have held senior level positions in Fortune 100 pharmaceutical and technology companies. As Cofounder and Chief Executive Officer, I lead Qforma in its mission to raise the bar in analytics by providing healthcare organizations with advanced tools that identify useful patterns in complex data and deliver actionable information. Qforma was a "boot strapped" company that grew from a single employee to 50 employees between 2000 and 2013 with minimal investment from friends and family.

I earned a Bachelor of Science Degree from Texas A&M University. I am very fortunate to be married to Laura Myers and I am lucky enough to have two amazing children, Seth and Emily.
