History
GreenSHeart™—short for Greenhouse for Strong Heart—was founded in June 2020 by Dr. Nik Nailah Abdullah, her late father Dato Haji Abdullah Ahmad, and Dr. David Steinhaus. Motivated by the challenges of chronic disease, GreenSHeart advances digital health through a "greenhouse" approach: nurturing innovation to improve patient care.

GreenSHeart Meaning
Greenhouse
A Greenhouse is an environmentally controlled place to grow plants, constructed in any place in the world, often using advanced technology for nourishment.
A Strong Heart
A Strong Heart from a medical perspective is a healthy heart and, from our philosophical perspective, a heart that acts with kindness to contribute to society.
Inspired by and blending these ideas, GreenSHeart uses AI technology to bring people together to facilitate learning, medical advances, and improved patient outcomes. We believe anything we want to do in benefiting the society and the economy is possible, even in a country with limited resources — if we start with a strong heart in a greenhouse.
