Therese Canares, MD, MBA

CEO, Founder; Pediatric Emergency Physician

Dr. Canares is a physician-entrepreneur and the CEO and Founder of CurieDx. With over a decade of experience as a pediatric emergency physician at Johns Hopkins University, she witnessed firsthand the challenges families face when emergency rooms are their only option for minor illnesses like coughs and colds due to lack of easy healthcare access.

Driven by a mission to answer the question, "Why am I sick?" instantly, Dr. Canares founded CurieDx to transform home diagnostics. Building on her research at Johns Hopkins, the CurieDx team developed a mobile app that uses AI and smartphone imaging to predict conditions like strep throat.

The $8.5 billion home diagnostics market remains largely untapped, with traditional solutions requiring specialized equipment and lab processing. CurieDx is positioned to capture this opportunity by delivering clinical screening results instantly through software alone, reducing costs and expanding access to care.

CurieDx is revolutionizing home testing, empowering patients and providers with innovative tools to improve remote care and creating a future where instant medical testing is at everyone's fingertips.
