Our Journey: Driven by Unexpected Events and Innovation
The inspiration behind Zig Therapeutics originated from its Founder, Vicki Daniels, who faced the unexpected passing of her spouse due to gaps in a fragmented healthcare system. Drawing on her diverse background in various industries, Daniels identified an opportunity to harness the power of artificial intelligence, machine learning, pharmaceuticals, and medical devices to tailor medical treatments and diagnostics.
Our Team
We are a unified transdisciplinary team of clinicians, technologists, engineers, product developers, mathematicians, statisticians, researchers, supply chain professionals, financial modelers, data privacy and security experts, manufacturers, and user-centric designers, all deeply committed to transcending traditional boundaries to create transformative solutions. At our core, we believe that user-centric intelligent technologies, combined with innovative methods for capturing the dynamic nature of each person’s mind and body through digital biomarkers, can enhance existing drug therapies—leading to truly personalized, cost-effective therapeutics, with the home as a healthcare hub. We embrace this grand challenge as a collaborative mission, where each discipline plays a crucial role in advancing cutting-edge artificial intelligence and machine learning solutions, co-developed with our user communities to revolutionize personalized healthcare.

How We Zig While Others Zag
Lead Through Ambiguity
We embrace uncertainty and guide with confidence, turning challenges into opportunities through creative thinking and decisive action.
Delivery Driven
There is no consolation prize for being a day late or a dollar short. We deliver what we say we will when we say we will. We hustle while others hesitate.
Dedicated to the Mission
We row as a crew, in synchronization no matter where we are on the boat. We cooperate for the greater mission; we aren’t contrarian or out-of-touch.
Growth Mindset
Leaders are curious and never stop learning. We know that what got us here won’t take us there so we stay current on technology, regulations, our stakeholders, and our business.
Responsible and Accountable
We think through our words and thus take ownership of them. We recognize responsibility and accountability go hand in hand. The buck stops with each of us.
Innovative at Scale
We safely and securely serve billions of individuals through forethought, technology, partnerships, and testing. We take our charge seriously and our scale shows it.
