Our Roots in Research
In 1989, two research scientists formed a company based on a simple idea: given the right tools, ordinary people could improve their health using the latest scientific advancements. Dennis Ary, PhD and John Noell, PhD began to create these tools, combining the principles of behavioral science with state-of-the-art technologies. Together, they formed the Oregon Center for Applied Science, now ORCAS.

In 2010, Michael Mulvihill was hired as CEO. He facilitated ORCAS transition to a healthcare technology company with a renewed mission of becoming the market leader in health care technology solutions for self-management.
