Sylvie Leotin, MS, MS, is the Founder and CEO of Equify Health and a healthcare design pioneer. A former Silicon Valley innovator with 25 years of technology leadership experience, she developed a groundbreaking methodology that transforms patient experience into systems design intelligence, revealing blind spots in care quality and equity.

Her groundbreaking approach has earned validation through $1.75 million in innovation grants from Genentech and collaboration with Emory School of Medicine, making her the first patient to serve as Principal Investigator on major academic research. This work represents a fundamental shift in healthcare transformation, integrating patient, design, and systems lenses to uncover what traditional clinical metrics cannot see.

Sylvie brings executive-level expertise from her technology career, including interim leadership roles in venture-backed companies and strategic advisory work with startups on innovation and human-centered design. Her unique background combines master's degrees in science and engineering from Stanford University and École Nationale Supérieure d'Informatique, and undergraduate degrees in mathematics, dance, and music.

As faculty with the Medical Education Speakers Network (MESN), Sylvie teaches nationwide on innovative solutions for safety and equity challenges. She has delivered keynote addresses at major medical institutions and conferences, including the NIH, National Cancer Institute, and American Society of Transplantation, and has presented at Grand Rounds lectures across the country.

Sylvie serves on the Editorial Leadership Board of the Journal of Patient Experience and writes the thought-provoking newsletter Ask the Patient, offering actionable design intelligence for safer care. Her work has been featured in The Boston Globe, STAT News, the Journal of Patient Experience, and Emory Medicine Magazine.
