Darla Brown is the co-founder and CEO of Intake.me, which programs have included the Empowered Patient Chat series (acquired by Patient Empowerment Network this year), ePatient101.com (an online health academy to educate and empower patients), and Conseils Patients (a French version of ePatient101.com created in partnership with Patient Empowerment Foundation). Darla's career in technology spans two decades, where she started as a software engineer and went on to lead engineering teams in Los Angeles to build large, consumer-facing platforms in media and commerce. She transitioned her focus into healthcare after going through cancer treatment in 2010 and finding so few technologies created from the patient's perspective. She is a strong voice for patient-centered, value based care, as well as accessibility and transparency. She is also a registered yoga teacher and meditation teacher. In November 2016, she co-founded the Healthcare Rights Coalition to advocate for access to affordable healthcare.
