Courage, Hope, & Determination
The Cannovia story is of a family’s courage, hope and determination.
Facing the Unthinkable: A Family’s Battle with Cancer and the Birth of a Mission
The Cannovia story is about a family’s courage, hope, and determination. A family who faced what can only be described as a parent’s worst nightmare. The story began with a life-threatening health condition that turned into a mission. Our founder Brian and his wife Patti’s 8-year-old son Trevor was diagnosed with a very rare, aggressive, and life threatening cancer.
Imagine enduring endless hospital visits, unexpected hospital stays, and even holidays spent in the hospital, feeling hopeless. This is what Brian and Patti went through for 14 months.
During Trevor’s treatment, they saw how the healthcare industry was often confusing, impersonal, and far less automated than they assumed. Going from department to department in the same hospital, few if any records were shared. Leading to a need to continuously repeat the same information in the same health records.
This inefficiency, with a strong potential for medical errors, started Brian’s mission to automate health record sharing.
Initially, Brian collaborated with Duke University and Medical Center, and testified before a congressional committee and led to the formation of vitaTrackr. A company with the objective of giving people control over the sharing of their personal health records.
From Information Infrastructure to Healing Naturally: The Cannovia Journey
After years of working with many healthcare companies on the information infrastructure of healthcare, Brian refocused his attention on the human side of healthcare, helping individuals live their best life.
He wanted to find a complimentary way to heal and thrive. A natural way.
That’s when he discovered the power of CBD, a natural compound derived from hemp that has many health benefits.CBD presented the opportunity to help people at a personal level, and also create an opportunity to work alongside his now adult son, and cancer survivor Trevor.
Together, father and son are co-founders of Cannovia.
A brand that combines science and nature to create products that are safe, effective, and affordable.
A brand that cares about its customers and their wellbeing.

Love the 15/60 gummies. They’re better than what I’ve been getting at the dispensary. Really settles me down.
Kati P.
I have been using this for about 3 weeks. I have physical discomfort and also deal with a constant racing mind and mood swings. Since using this products my discomfort is gone, I am sleeping more sound.

The good night drops really help with sleep. I used to take Melatonin, but I no longer need it with these drops. They work much better than Melatonin ever did.
