WTOP - Dec 8 - Elizabeth Tikoyan, a Fairfax, Virginia, resident, and founder and CEO of the Riley App, said the app is a social network in which people with the same health conditions connect, share their stories, get answers on best doctors and treatments or just be with someone going through the same thing they are. The app helps "connect people going through the same thing so that we could at least talk, share experiences, and relate to how lonely it feels during the holidays." The name of the app has a special meaning to Tikoyan. As a college student, she volunteered in the pediatric department at Georgetown Hospital and became close to a girl named Riley, one of the patients.
