um I started my career as a founder and CEO of Click Medics. Um, pretty much right out of grad school at M i t. I was studying a dual degree in engineering and N B A. And in one of my first year classes, um, called development Ventures out of the M I T media lab. We were proposed with a very simply stated challenge that was to create a business that will impact overbilling people. So and this was 10 years ago. Remember, 10 years ago, we didn't have smartphones. However, we knew that we wanted to unpack over a billion people. It had to be something they have access to and without a smartphone. But they have access to a regular mobile phones and Nokia or the foot phone. You remember those, um so we thought Okay, we need a mobile phone, and we need doctors. So we put two and two together. Then we created the first version of what's called mobile Health Care. So the health workers or nurses or doctors in a remote area, we use the mobile application that we wrote on the, um, Nokia phones. And right now it's all on their smartphones and then capture patient information and transmitted thio remote doctor anywhere and the remote medical experts what we call them, um, then provide back potential diagnosis and treatment advice and what we also realized it's a side benefit is that these rural doctors and nurses and health workers were actually learning from these remote the remote instructions and actually improve their own ability to diagnose entry and therefore actually growing their own capacity in these areas where there are very few medical experts or specialists, okay?

so we actually solve a number of problems. It's certainly evolution. The initial problem we were trying to solve with for health organizations that wanted to serve more patients. But they're limited physically. Eso patients have to travel for a long time or wait for a long time to book an appointment. They're obviously physical limitations to how many patients a single doctor could serve. And in order to reach more doctors, they either have to go and do a remote um, Dr Outreach or they just serve last patients. So our solution allowed anyone are Can you hear me? Our solution? Our solution allowed health worker or runners, just with their phone be able to connect that patient to a doctor in a medical center. So that allowed the doctor to serve a lot more patients. It also created jobs for the health workers and nurses and obviously helped the patient get the right treatment faster. Um, where it's evolved is initially we were working on cervical cancer and HIV and sub Saharan Africa. Then we recognize the same solution could be used to treat chronic diseases because chronic disease requires very a lot more frequent tracking and visiting of the doctors, which becomes even harder to dio. So now we cater to diabetes, heart disease, even cancer and number of wide diseases. In our most recent evolution is into population health helping payers, government insurance companies and medical networks do the same reach more patient while lowering their cost so that they can service the patient at literally 1/10 of the current costs.what's also really exciting. We have a global footprint in more than 20 countries and we serve over two million patients and we're able to look at all of the longitudinal data and start looking at disease trends as well as making artificial intelligence based predictions. Which profile patient may be at higher risk of, UM, having various diseases such as diabetes or more advanced heart disease?So, um, Click Medics is a self care system to enable health organizations to reach more patients for health organizations if they want to find more patient or be able to service them. They either have to go to the patients through various outreach programs, or they wait for the patients to come to them. Either way, how much they can scale, or how many more patients they conserve is really limited. So our solution enables them to empower educations to literally go online. It's a telemedicine visit, essentially to get the care they need. It also enables them to send a health worker out with just their phone and a kit of telemedicine devices such as blood pressure, cough thermometer and many others to essentially be the eyes and hands of remote doctors and service a patient that way. So wherever you have a person, usually, um, it's a female health workers. So we are creating jobs as well. Um, health worker with a bag of devices they could go toe anywhere to essentially services ah, folk clinic. So we're enabling health organizations to reach more than 10 times the volume of patients, and they otherwise could service were obviously allowing patients to see the doctors much more easily. Um, sometimes patients wait months and months to see the doctor. In this way, they can see the doctor in less than 72 hours, no matter what disease they have. And it creates jobs for the health workers, as well as those in the rural areas where there isn't unavailable medical specialists.

Oh, well, we first started. I was just a graduate student at M i t. I got a small research grant. Um, in fact, if you remember, I mentioned earlier with the project assignment to create a business that we impact over a billion people and in fact, with then submitted to the M I t 100 k business plan competition, we actually want, um uh, price of $30,000 we stand enabled us to go and pilot this. Um, I was partnering with University of Pennsylvania and we pilot, um, telemedicine for dermatology, HIV and cervical cancer across five countries in sub Saharan Africa. The first few weeks was, you know, traveling in a backpack, to be honest with a backpack full of about 10 different phones and different software on it. And I would go and meet with different, uh, doctors and clinics and introduced a product and train their health workers and nurses and doctors on it and literally see patients that way. It was absolutely amazing that we and remember, this is before smartphones that our program phone on the Nokia with pretty fuzzy images could actually work and make that connection between patient and Ah, village in Africa all the way to the medical specialists in New York. So it's absolutely amazing. And based on that small success, we thought we could do a lot more. We started out in dermatology taking pictures of patient rashes and lesions. Many of them have HIV, and dermatologists could very quickly tell in terms of their HIV related skin disease and also stage. But there are Trevi. So we found just so many ways uh um expanding just to use the phone, collect data, capture images and now we're adding on diagnostics devices. We're adding on different, um, chronic diseases, a swell, and we can expand to different countries and now we manage over two million people.
