ABOUT TATIANA FOFANOVA
Tatiana Fofanova, PhD, is the Co-Founder and CEO of Koda Health, an AI-enhanced patient decision support platform to make advance care planning (ACP) scalable, accessible, and truly patient-centered.Koda enables individuals to easily document and share their care preferences, while integrating directly into provider and payer workflows - helping ensure that every treatment decision aligns with what matters most to the patient.Tatiana’s path into healthcare innovation sits at the intersection of science, law, and patient advocacy. After earning her PhD in Translational Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine, she joined Texas Medical Center (TMC) as a Founder-in-Residence. It was there that she and her co-founders identified one of the most overlooked yet critical gaps in healthcare: the lack of meaningful, accessible advance care planning.That mission became deeply personal when Tatiana — struck by a car and diagnosed with kidney cancer in the same afternoon — became “patient zero” for the very platform she was building. The experience reinforced her commitment to designing a solution rooted in empathy, clarity, and dignity.Under her leadership, Koda Health now supports over 1 million patients through partnerships with organizations like Cigna, Privia, and Houston Methodist. The company has raised $614 million in seed funding, backed by strategic investors including AARP and Memorial Hermann.Visit kodahealth.com to learn more.
