Built by operators. Guided by clinicians.

    Patient follow-up is a clinical problem, an operational problem, and an engineering problem all at once. We assembled a team that's lived inside each of them.

    The Operators

    The team behind every patient interaction.

    Coherent's operators bring depth from Accurx, Morgan Stanley, Elvie, NAAMA Studios, and the clinics themselves: engineering, product, commercial, and patient-facing experience built across the systems healthcare actually runs on.

    Co-founder & CEO

    Jared Aron

    Jared founded Coherent after nearly a decade in healthcare technology and clinic operations — developing dermatology medical devices and running a multi-site medical aesthetics brand across London and New York. That work exposed the gap Coherent now closes: excellent clinical care let down by inconsistent follow-up once patients leave the room.

    He also hosts The Business of a Clinic, speaking with clinic owners, operators, investors and healthcare leaders about building, scaling, and selling successful private healthcare businesses.
