Our Mission

Elizabeth Tikoyan built Healp because she lived what every patient fears: years in and out of hospitals as a child, labeled incurable, searching for answers the system never gave her.

​

After a decade-long fight, she didn’t discover clinical trials through her doctors — she stumbled on them by chance as an intern at the NIH. She still remembers her first day walking through Building 10, the world’s largest research hospital, its walls covered in flyers desperately looking for patients just like her.

​

Why, after 10 years of treatments and dead ends, had she never heard about these studies? How many patients never do? That’s when it hit her: patients are left in the dark while breakthroughs stay locked away.

​

What finally helped her wasn’t just medicine — it was community. She found other patients like her. She learned which treatments actually worked. She found the right doctors because people shared the truths no one else would. That’s when she realized: trust, real-world data, and human connection are the missing pieces in modern healthcare.

​

So she built Healp — a trusted patient community that’s now fueling medical breakthroughs and closing the gaps in research. Imagine asking thousands of people living with the same condition your biggest health question — and getting a real, data-driven answer in hours. Imagine turning that collective knowledge into insights that fix broken trials, accelerate treatments, and finally make research work for the people it’s meant for.

​

Because here’s the reality: every year, trials waste time and money trying to find patients — while patients waste years searching for hope they can’t see. Healp makes the connection that should have existed all along.

Elizabeth made a full recovery — but too many with the same diagnosis didn’t.

That’s Healp. We’re done waiting. So is the world.
