Meet MSU alum Angela Leach, Co-Founder Memory Sketch

Tell us about your company:
Memory Sketch is revolutionizing the way we monitor Alzheimer’s progression—one drawing at a time. Through a sketch pad and companion app, patients engage with AI-powered prompts to create daily sketches. These drawings are then analyzed, quantified, and securely shared with physicians and care teams, providing more personalized insights into the progression of the disease.
What inspired you to start your business?
My co-founder, Caraline, and I both have grandparents who suffered from Alzheimer’s Disease, and they were part of the inspiration behind Memory Sketch.
What are your proudest achievements so far?
