I first had the product idea for Taken Health more than 10 years ago when I was in school. I got a great job instead of working on it. In early 2020, I finally had time to work on my idea, but I failed to execute well. After almost 2 years of design work, I still did not have a design that even I would buy. Covid also started as soon as I started the company and only made things more difficult and made me doubtful about my idea, which is for a world with no lockdowns and isolating. When I caught Covid again and it seemed like the pandemic would last forever in early 2022, I shut down the company. My idea was just not enough and I was humbled. It was my first time working on a physical product and I did not meet the challenge. Suddenly, in late Summer of 2023 I picked up the idea again after I had an aha moment and a strong, detailed vision for how the the first product should look like. I had the good fortune to find a skilled designer who is quick to make rapid changes to make the product better and better. Through the whole process, my mom was always encouraging me to make progress. She was so excited to hear I was working on the product again. She was a health nut, so she was excited by my idea. Tragically, in November of 2023, my mom passed away from an explosive fire at her home. My family misses her dearly. Progress on Taken Health slowed, but I am now more determined to finish the first product to honor my lovely mother. I hope you will like it and find it useful. I expect to be able to release it in early 2025, so check back.
