> Soheil Saadat is the founder and CEO of GenieMD, a global virtual care platform that bundles telehealth, remote patient monitoring, remote therapeutic monitoring and chronic care management into one modular, AI-assisted system. A Stanford-trained electrical engineer with a Ph.D., he is a four-time founder whose previous companies were acquired by Hewlett-Packard, Agilent Technologies and Microsoft before he turned his attention from enterprise software to healthcare.
