Co-Founder @ Mirra
Joshua is a healthcare entrepreneur with experience building from zero. Previously co-founded Loop Health, a telehealth platform for college students, and has worked in clinical research at Boston Medical Center. He has deep ties to Nigeria and a conviction that emerging markets are consistently underrepresented in clinical work — and that this is solvable.

Co-Founder @ Mirra
Tomi is a physician and public health expert with deep expertise in health equity. She understands both the clinical stakes of biased AI and the systemic gaps that created them. Her work bridges the gap between what's technically possible and what's medically meaningful — ensuring Mirra's data actually serves the patients it represents.

AI models trained on Western patient populations don't perform well when deployed in Lagos. Clinical trials routinely exclude entire continents. Medical devices get approved without ever being validated on darker skin tones. This isn't new — it's just how things have been built.
We've worked in health tech and clinical research. We've seen the gap firsthand. The data that could fix this exists — it's sitting in hospitals across Nigeria, Kenya, India — but there's no infrastructure to use it safely or share value back to the source.
Mirra creates that infrastructure. We partner with health systems in the Global South to generate synthetic patient data that's clinically accurate, privacy-safe, and actually representative. Then we license it to the AI companies and researchers who need it.
We build for AI health companies getting asked "did you validate on diverse populations?" and not having a good answer. For medical device teams that need training data representing African patients. For researchers who know their models are biased but can't access the data to fix it. And for the hospitals and health ministries who've been data sources, not data partners — until now.
