Julia Hu

Julia Hu

CEO/Founder

Julia Hu founded Lark Health to make healthcare more personal and compassionate through AI. Having managed her own chronic disease her whole life with her loving family and her pediatrician, Julia felt the incredible benefits of 24/7 compassionate care. Together with health experts and coaches from Stanford, Harvard and artificial intelligence technologists, they developed Lark – a 24/7 personal AI health coach that texts with people to help them manage and prevent chronic disease – anytime, anywhere. A serial entrepreneur, Julia was named number one in “Top 10 Women in Tech to Watch” and “30 Under 30” by Inc. Magazine, "17 Female Healthcare CEOs to Know" by Becker's Hospital Review. Prior to founding Lark Health, Julia ran global startup incubator Clean Tech Open, her own green buildings startup, and was an EIR at Stanford’s StartX. She received her Master’s and Bachelor's degrees from Stanford, and half an MBA from MIT before leaving to start Lark. Julia has advised President Obama, is a faculty member at Singularity University, on the board of the Council of Diabetes Prevention, and speaks regularly on digital health, IoT, and innovation on CNN, NBC, Bloomberg, MIT, and more. Julia stays fit by attending hip-hop dance classes and chatting with Lark about her snacks.
