Mochi Health
Myra Ahmad, MD, is founder and chief executive of Mochi Health. Mochi Health is a telehealth marketplace. A patient uses it to choose a clinician and a pharmacy for weight care, and for other treatment such as skin, hair, and mental health.
Early life
She earned an undergraduate degree at Wellesley College, in Wellesley, Massachusetts, and an MD at the University of Washington School of Medicine. She also did research on obesity treatment at MIT and at UCSF.
Business
In 2022 she started Mochi Health in San Francisco, after seeing a person with obesity sent from a surgeon to an endocrinologist to a primary care office with no one following the illness. Independent pharmacies on Mochi fill prescriptions at prices the patient can see.
