Why I built StoryNudge

Missing a single dose of medicine
can be a matter of life and death for someone.

Three years of recovering from a stroke, followed by a cancer diagnosis. This is the story of StoryNudge — a completely free medication management app I built after living through that.

01 David's story

THREE YEARS AGO

I had a stroke. My speech became slurred, my memory unreliable. It took me two years just to order a coffee by myself again. Taking the subway, getting a haircut, cooking a meal — everything had to be relearned from scratch.

THROUGH RECOVERY

I made it through because of my family — especially my wife, a speech-language rehabilitation specialist. I don't think I could have made it alone.

A YEAR AGO

Less than a year after that, I was diagnosed with cancer. That experience taught me something: for some people, remembering to take a single dose of medicine on time can be a matter of life and death.

TODAY

I built StoryNudge — a free medication management app for anyone who has to take medicine every day. I hope it helps more people get through each day feeling a little less alone, and a little safer.

“You don't have to manage it alone. Even when we're not by each other's side, even without checking in every time — I wanted to build something that lets us feel at ease together.”
