Reimagining healthcare through a consumer lens
Kara Trott built her career solving experience challenges for some of the world’s top retail and service brands. When she turned her focus to how consumers experience healthcare, she recognized what others missed: a broken, unintentional journey that left people confused and alone at the most vulnerable moments of their lives. But she also saw a way forward. By applying proven methodologies from retail and service industries, she created an entirely new model to guide people through care with empathy, clarity and real support. That idea became Quantum Health — and the beginning of healthcare navigation.
