Our Story
Built from lived experience, for every patient.
Three preventable tragedies. Each caused by a breakdown in communication between a patient and their care team. That heartbreak is why LiteraSeed exists.
Co-founder Aziza Ismail, daughter of Afghan refugees, lived this loss firsthand. She built LiteraSeed so no patient is ever left voiceless in a clinical encounter,You and no family suffers what hers did.
