Our mission

Improving healthspan and lifespan by innovating therapeutic care.

Willow Laboratories was founded in 1998 by Joe Kiani, who also founded Masimo and co-invented measure-through-motion pulse oximetry. Formerly Cercacor Laboratories, we now apply that sensing heritage to the diabetes and metabolic-health crisis.
