At age 20, I survived a tragic accident. This event changed my life and sparked my desire to provide free surgery to vulnerable and underprivileged children in Africa.
By age 30, I was a surgeon on a mission. I created The Heart Fund, an organization providing medical services to children living with heart diseases.
Now at age 40, I am on a quest to impact as many lives as possible. I will do so by:
Transforming health
As a pediatric heart surgeon, I’m trained to treat children with severe heart conditions. I believe that preventative healthcare could help millions of people live longer, healthier lives.
Fighting for health justice
As a humanitarian, I founded The Heart Fund, a United Nations accredited international organization that provides cardiovascular care to children in developing countries.
Building the future of healthcare
As an innovator, I founded Absolutys, an NYC-based venture studio. Absolutys builds healthcare solutions at scale in partnership with entrepreneurs, corporations, and governments.
Empowering global leaders
As the creator of Generous People, my mission is to unite and empower a community of philanthropists committed to improving health and well-being globally.
He is also the founder and CEO of Absolutys, an NYC-based venture studio that builds health tech companies and counsels the world’s leaders on the future of health.
Most recently, Dr. Luu founded Hearty, a self-care platform that transforms your biometrics into personalized coaching to help you improve stress, sleep, nutrition, and performance—all from the comfort of home.
