. The investment will enable the company to double down on its mission to put power in the hands of patients, whose firsthand experiences with chronic and rare conditions make them valuable — and underutilized — healthcare experts.
这项投资将使该公司能够加倍努力,实现其赋予患者权力的使命,这些患者亲身经历慢性病和罕见病,这使他们成为宝贵且未被充分利用的医疗专家。
Folia’s platform enables individuals to track symptoms, treatments, and outcomes, and share them with unprecedented control. The company’s commitment to consent and radical transparency means that any data used for external research requires explicit consent, participants can see exactly how their information is being used and what is being learned through detailed Participant Reports, and can withdraw participation at any time.
Folia的平台使个人能够追踪症状、治疗和结果,并以空前的控制力进行分享。公司对同意和彻底透明的承诺意味着,任何用于外部研究的数据都需要明确的同意,参与者可以准确地看到他们的信息是如何被使用的,以及通过详细的参与者报告学到了什么,并且可以随时退出参与。
Folia also recognizes participants for their contributions to research studies through its revenue-sharing program, Data Dividends..
Folia还通过其收入共享计划Data Dividends,表彰参与者对研究的贡献。
“This funding is an affirmation of our fierce dedication to making patient-focused healthcare a reality. Instead of trying to fix the system from the outside in, we’ve built Folia to harness the power of each individual patient — to make their healthcare make sense,” said company founder and CEO Nell Meosky Luo.
“这笔资金肯定了我们对实现以患者为中心的医疗保健的坚定承诺。我们并没有试图从外部修复系统,而是构建了Folia来发挥每位患者的潜力 — 让他们的医疗保健变得有意义,”公司创始人兼首席执行官Nell Meosky Luo表示。
“People live in their bodies 24/7 — they notice patterns, track what works, spot when something’s off. Your own insights reveal your most burdensome symptoms, how different treatments and other things you’re trying are working for you; and also, the massive difference it can make when your treatments are working well.
“人们无时无刻不生活在自己的身体里——他们会注意到规律,追踪什么方法有效,发现何时出现问题。你自己的见解揭示了你最沉重的症状、不同治疗方法以及其他你正在尝试的事物对你的效果;同时,当治疗奏效时,它能带来的巨大差异也显而易见。”
The knowledge held by each of our participants fills crucial knowledge gaps in traditional health data, which focuses on what happens when you’re at the clinic.”.
我们的每位参与者所掌握的知识填补了传统健康数据中的关键知识空白,这些数据关注的是你去诊所时发生的情况。
By providing a platform giving direct value to patients, Folia Health’s approach generates high-quality, longitudinal real-world evidence (RWE) for researchers. This has informed FDA discussions and treatment guidelines, led to partnerships with leading life science companies, and generated research-grade data across conditions that have a major impact on people’s lives, including lupus, sickle cell disease, eczema, and paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH).
通过提供一个为患者提供直接价值的平台,Folia Health 的方法为研究人员生成了高质量、纵向的真实世界证据 (RWE)。这已经为 FDA 讨论和治疗指南提供了信息,促成了与领先生命科学公司的合作,并在对人们生活有重大影响的疾病领域生成了研究级数据,这些疾病包括狼疮、镰状细胞病、湿疹和阵发性夜间血红蛋白尿 (PNH)。
Other Folia Health initiatives include:.

Brian R. Smith, Managing Director at S3 Ventures, adds, “Folia is a validated research platform redefining how we understand chronic and rare diseases. Nearly a decade of peer-reviewed research positions Folia as the gold standard for patient-driven real-world evidence, and we are thrilled to support their growth across new conditions and partnerships.”.
S3 Ventures的管理总监布莱恩·R.史密斯补充道:“Folia是一个经过验证的研究平台,重新定义了我们对慢性病和罕见病的理解。近十年的同行评审研究使Folia成为患者驱动的真实世界证据的黄金标准,我们非常高兴能够支持他们在新适应症和合作伙伴关系中的成长。”
With the inevitable shift toward using AI tools to make personal health decisions, data based on real experiences is the foundation that is necessary for AI models to accurately reflect individuals’ unique health journeys. “What gets lost in the excitement over the power of AI is the fact that these new technologies require the right data to give us insights that are meaningful and useful,” said Dan Toffling, Co-Founder and CTO at Folia Health.
随着不可避免地转向使用人工智能工具来做出个人健康决策,基于真实体验的数据是人工智能模型准确反映个人独特健康历程所需的基础。Folia Health联合创始人兼首席技术官丹·托夫林表示:“在对人工智能的强大功能感到兴奋的同时,人们忽略了一个事实,即这些新技术需要正确的数据,才能为我们提供有意义且有用的信息。”
“Right now, we’re dependent on incomplete and skewed datasets, typically information that’s collected a few days out of the year during brief interactions with clinicians. In other words, would you want all your health decisions to be based solely on what’s in your doctor’s notes in your EHR?”.
“目前,我们依赖于不完整且有偏差的数据集,这些数据通常是在一年中的几天内与临床医生短暂互动时收集的。换句话说,你是否希望所有的健康决策都仅仅基于电子健康记录(EHR)中医生的笔记?”
The funding announcement follows Folia’s recent launch of Mosaic, a community insights research initiative that enables participants to ask questions and get answers based on aggregated data from others with similar conditions. The program is currently active for users with eczema and PNH, with plans to expand to lupus and sickle cell disease in 2026..
资金公告发布之际,Folia刚刚推出了名为“Mosaic”的社区洞察研究计划,该计划使参与者能够提问并根据来自具有相似病症的其他参与者的汇总数据获得答案。该项目目前已面向患有湿疹和PNH的用户开放,并计划在2026年扩展至狼疮和镰状细胞病。
