The Student Founder Journey, a series of episodes presented by the Keenan Center for Entrepreneurship, follows the bold entrepreneurial pursuits of students and young alumni at The Ohio State University. In this episode, we are joined by Anjali Prabhakaran, founder of Pelorus Health (formerly EmPower Health).

Pelorus Health is part of the first-ever President’s Buckeye Accelerator (PBA). Six student ventures were chosen for the year-long accelerator and will advance their startup for launch with a $50,000 award.

Pelorus Health is a SaMD (software as a medical device) designed to improve metabolic disease management for patients and providers through comprehensive health data tracking, artificial intelligence-driven metabolic health insights, and a robust patient support network.

In this episode, Prabhakaran shares how a desire to help others led to the beginning of her entrepreneurial journey and the start of Pelorus Health. The episode is hosted by Jack Considine, a second-year finance major.
