Why I built this
Joriva was built in a hospital room.
My father Joemar has Type 2 diabetes. When he was recovering from lung cancer surgery, I noticed his CGM readings were running significantly higher than his finger-prick results — surgical stress, IV fluids, tissue edema all affecting his glucose in ways that were hard to track and harder to explain to his care team. I wanted a tool that could hold all of that complexity in one place: his glucose trends alongside his medications, his treatment events, his symptoms — something I could look at from home and understand what was happening with him in real time. I couldn't find that tool, so I built Joriva.
