Modern health care support patients at crisis points: during a visit, around a procedure and after discharge. However, the gaps between care can fuel readmissions, emergencies and preventable decline. Velocity startup Doro is developing clinically guided AI tools to ensure that connection with patients continues long after appointments end, filling the gap health practitioners do not have the capacity to reach.
Rastin Rassoli (BCS ’25), co-founder of Doro, graduated from the University of Waterloo with a Bachelor of Computer Science, earning top averages in his double major in Psychology and his Artificial Intelligence Specialization. While at Waterloo, he explored the intersection of intelligent systems and human behaviour. Rastin is now collaborating with Dr. Allison Kelly, professor in the Department of Psychology, Dr. Helen Chen, professor and director of the Professional Practice Centre in Health Systems at Waterloo, and a multidisciplinary team to build this continuity of care solutions for hospitals.
