Jess Dove London – Bio
Jess founded Turnto after she was told countless times that there were “no treatment options” for her two sons with serious chronic medical conditions.

However, after years of research, Travel and investigating, Jess found a handful of treatments that helped her family tremendously.

Most of these treatments were hidden in medical literature, some even low-cost and easy to apply.

She knew many families, just like hers, were going through the same experience, unaware of the life-changing opportunities available to them.

So she set on building Turnto, bringing together the latest technology, consumers and experts to solve this problem with the aim of bringing thousands to their next medical breakthrough quicker.
