Every person’s path through health care is different. We make sure the information along that path is clear, accessible, and human.
Most health materials are written at a level that’s out of reach for the very people who need them most. Medical jargon, inaccessible formats, and unclear instructions create invisible walls.
For someone learning about a diagnosis, managing medication, or navigating treatment options, those walls can turn into detours or dead ends.

It started with one Journey and grew into a mission for all.
For Somer, the mission is deeply personal. In 2019, her one-year-old daughter, Journey, was diagnosed with bilateral retinoblastoma, resulting in the removal of her right eye and the use of a prosthetic. Navigating the healthcare system during this medical crisis—as a parent with ADHD—revealed just how inaccessible critical information can be. What began as a personal necessity quickly became a professional calling. Somer’s lived experience as a parent, combined with her expertise in interpreting and accessibility consulting, fuels the heart-centered innovation behind Nclusive Scan.
When my daughter Journey was diagnosed with eye cancer, I realized how much critical health information is written in ways families can’t actually use. Even with my background in accessibility, I struggled. That experience became the seed for Nclusive Scan—so no family would ever feel lost like I did.
