Meet The Team

At our core, we believe that every child deserves the chance to live a healthy, thriving life.

Our founder’s Pam Turbeville's passion for health and wellness began early. As a child, she volunteered for over four years in multiple areas of the hospital, logging some of the highest annual service hours and serving as President of the Junior Auxiliary. This commitment to helping others shaped her life’s work.

Her professional journey started as an environmental engineer at an asbestos mine in Québec, before moving into leadership roles across four Fortune 500 companies in finance, human resources, and administration. Eventually, she became CEO of a finance company — all while remaining a strong advocate for health and wellness initiatives.

Upon retiring, she combined her business expertise and lifelong passion for healthcare to create i-calQ — a groundbreaking system that uses a smartphone and cradle to read medical diagnostic tests with laboratory-level accuracy. Compact, affordable, and requiring no infrastructure or electricity, this innovation is ideal for use in developing countries where access to healthcare is limited.

Our first focus was on testing newborns for congenital hypothyroidism (CH) by measuring thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). Early detection and treatment of CH prevents irreversible health issues and allows babies to grow with their full IQ, hearing, height, and overall potential intact. This not only changes the child’s life but uplifts the entire family and community.

With the right support for purchasing, training, and distributing this technology worldwide, we have the power to test and treat two-thirds of babies born in developing countries — eliminating the largest cause of preventable intellectual disability.
