Why did I invent IvyLife™?
We physicians were taught, in medical school, that patients' well-being is of utmost importance.
Years later, as a practicing physician & surgeon, I saw that patients’ independence and active lifestyle are major contributors to healing and curing pace and quality.
These concepts and real-life observations led me to look for a solution that will ease the daily burden on patients.
