That's what Sam Jactel, co-founder of Ayble Health, had to say when he and Seb Tucknott, co-founder of IBDrelief, were announced as the winners of the Takeda Canada Digital Health Innovation Challenge, a competition to identify and support innovative digital health solutions to improve patient outcomes and experiences, per a release.
