Noor Siddiqui (born 1994) is an American entrepreneur. She is the founder and CEO of the reproductive technology company Orchid.

Early years[edit]

Noor Siddiqui was born in 1994 in Northern Virginia to Uzair and Rubina Siddiqui.[2] At age 14, she started a nonprofit to provide scholarships to poor families.[3] At age 17, she was awarded the $100,000 Thiel Fellowship and postponed attending college in order to work on poverty reduction.[4][5] Later, she started a health care technology company. Siddiqui was one of two women and the youngest member of the 2012 class of Thiel Fellows.[6][7]

Career[edit]

In 2014, Siddiqui founded the wearable health care technology company, Remedy.[8][9][10] The company produced an app for Google Glass which facilitated remote surgical consults over video.[11][12][13] A study at Cambridge Health Alliance found that surgeons who used video chat changed their management plan in 24% of cases.[14] In another pilot study, 91% of surgeons found the app useful for managing patient treatments.[15] In 2015, Remedy developed software that allowed primary care doctors to consult with specialists without needing Google Glass hardware.[16][17]

In 2018, Siddiqui returned the funds raised to investors in order to attend Stanford University where she studied computer science.[18] She conducted research in the Stanford AI Lab under Sebastian Thrun and in genomics under Anshul Kundaje.[19] She taught the course CS17si: Frontiers in Reproductive Technology with Russ Altman[20] and was a fellow in the Stanford Distributed Trust Initiative.[21]

In 2020, Siddiqui founded a reproductive technology company, Orchid, which measures genetic predisposition to disease.[22]
