Pelu Tran founded Ferrum Health because someone he loved died from a cancer that AI might have caught.

‍

His uncle passed from a missed lung cancer diagnosis. That loss became a mandate: build the infrastructure that gives every patient, at every health system, access to clinical AI that actually works. That is the company Ferrum is. That is why it exists.

‍

Before Ferrum, Pelu co-founded Augmedix, where he led product and growth, raised more than $100 million in funding, and helped scale the team to more than 1,200 employees before the company went public. He knows what it takes to build something from an idea into a functioning enterprise, and he brought that experience directly into Ferrum's foundation.

‍

Today, Ferrum's platform is deployed across more than 200 clinical sites, serving 2.5 million patients annually. The mission has not changed since day one.

‍

Pelu holds a BS in Biomechanical Engineering from Stanford University and is pursuing his MD there on leave. He is a Technology Pioneer and Expert Contributor for the World Economic Forum, a Fellow of the UN World Summit on Innovation, and a member of Forbes' Healthcare 30 Under 30. He is also an Aspen Institute Scholar and regularly lectures at Stanford on bio-design and clinical innovation.

He is building the platform he wishes had existed when his uncle needed it most.
