About Qoluna

About Qoluna

For more than 25 years, Alex Gikher and Valerie Kogan have worked at the intersection of technology, data, and large-scale enterprise transformation, including deep partnerships with healthcare and life sciences organizations. As founders of RE Partners, they built the firm from the ground up during a period of rapid technological change, including the acceleration of digital health during COVID. Over time, their work revealed one gap that could no longer be ignored: as health technology advanced, understanding did not keep pace. Qoluna Health was created to help close that gap.

Qoluna is not designed to replace doctors or automate healthcare decisions. Its purpose is to help people better understand their own health, enabling them to engage more effectively with clinicians and caregivers. At the same time, Qoluna aims to add value across the healthcare ecosystem by helping make care more informed, efficient, and effective through greater clarity, earlier insight, and better shared understanding between individuals and healthcare professionals.

For Alex, that realization became personal through the experience of caring for his grandparents. As their health declined, it became clear how difficult it was for families and caregivers to truly understand what was happening day to day. Despite doctor visits, medications, and monitoring, there was little clarity about their actual state, how it was changing, or what actions would genuinely help them. Caregivers wanted to provide support, but they lacked meaningful insight into the signals that could explain what was happening and how to respond. As a technologist and out-of-the-box thinker, Alex had long been exploring ideas around healthcare innovation, personalization in medicine, and proactive health management that leads to longevity. That experience gave those ideas a much more personal and urgent meaning.

For Valerie, the connection to Qoluna is deeply personal. Throughout her life, she has seen loved ones navigate Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis, and stroke - different conditions, yet all marked by the same uncertainty about what was happening and how to help. Supporting family members, often from afar, showed her how difficult it can be to turn health information into meaningful understanding. That experience shaped her belief that while complex illness cannot always be controlled, better insight can ease fear, reduce stress, empower caregivers, and help families make more informed decisions. Drawing on her Silicon Valley roots, Valerie became committed to using innovation and technology to build solutions that bring greater clarity, confidence, and support to those facing health challenges.

Across different experiences, Alex and Valerie came to the same conclusion: access to health data is not enough. While health data is becoming more abundant, the ability to make sense of your own data and turn it into action is still lacking. Qoluna exists to turn health data into understanding and understanding into action.


Our Mission:
To Help People Learn How To Own Your Health.



Healthcare today often begins when someone becomes a patient. Too often, healthcare begins only after symptoms appear or concerns arise.  We believe people deserve an earlier, clearer view of their health, the ability to recognize meaningful changes over time, understand what those changes may mean, and have more informed conversations with their doctors.
