Company
How did ORB Innovations get started?
In 2010, future CEO Robert Paterson suffered a severe head injury during a rugby match. It was misdiagnosed, leaving him bedridden for weeks.
Thankfully Rob recovered, but the incident lingered in his mind. While at one of the world’s foremost engineering and sports science research institutions — Loughborough University in the U.K. — he became very intrigued by data. He realized it could help unravel the mysteries of the body and unlock human potential.
After leaving university, Rob teamed up with co-founder Tom Quinn to start ORB Innovations, a company that empowers people to be their best selves through data-driven technology.
