Hīria (Ngāti Porou, Tūwharetoa) loves her community and loves technology, so Kaiwhakahaere for Whare Hauora was a natural role for her.

Hīria has almost 20 years in tech with numerous technical and business roles in open data, open source, digital technologies, open banking and infrastructure.

She used all of her technical expertise to create the Whare Hauora sensors and data platform. But it was for the love of her grandmother and the trust of her people that she determined that Whare Hauora would only be Kaitiaki of the data collected by the sensors, that the family would own their own data.

She relishes the role that Whare Hauora holds for Aotearoa and is very happy to be supporting her people by creating technology that solves problems in our communities.
