Anil Sethi, was the head of the Apple division that is responsible for improving the Health application of the Cupertino company, but after his sister was diagnosed with cancer, he promised him before his death occurred that he would use all his knowledge to help patients of this fatal disease and therefore his decision to leave Apple to found Ciitizen is confirmed.
Note that Sethi, had asked Apple for a leave of absence from work to provide the maximum care for his sister, Tania Sethi, who suffered from this disease and finally passed away last September. Now Sethi, keeps what he promised and leaves Apple to focus fully on his company and help in whatever way he can to the rest of the people who suffer from this disease.
The main objective of Sethi with Ciitizen, is simple and does not go about direct research for the fight against cancer even though it has a direct relationship, it is about implement and provide all medical information, including that of different laboratories, hospitals and other details with all doctors in a simple way so that the best specialists can help patients.
This company would already be in operation and although it is true that Sethi himself explained to the media his commitment to Apple on the subject of people's health, he believes that he with his company can contribute more and better data on these very specific topics with patients of all kinds. Sethi's new company is looking for all kinds of financing to carry it forward and while this is happening is focusing on finding a team of engineers. Let's hope that this former Apple worker's company will do well and help as many people as possible.
