Suleyman Nazarov Is Building the Missing Front Desk for Global Hospitals
A scholarship carried a finance student from Turkmenistan to Seoul. The company he built there now treats language, search and unanswered messages as one sprawling software problem.
Donkyo Seo Is Turning Seoul's Medical Maze Into a Front Door
Friends once called him to make sense of Seoul's hospitals. Donkyo Seo turned that informal favor into an operating system for medical travel - built on clinic visits, careful vetting, and the unglamorous logistics between a question and an appointment.
Rythmia Put Ayahuasca on a Resort Schedule. The Hard Part Starts After Checkout.

Pulse Protocol, Inc.
Pulse Protocol is a plug-and-play medical travel platform that helps doctors, clinics and hospitals manage and grow their cross-border patient business. It pairs patients with multilingual care coordinators and gives providers an end-to-end toolkit - patient matching, secure communications, payments, marketing and revenue analytics - built on decades of medical tourism experience and, in its earlier MedRepublic incarnation, a blockchain-backed vision of a decentralized, transparent global healthcare marketplace.

Robert Page is the CEO and founder of Pulse Protocol (formerly MedRepublic), a Los Angeles healthcare marketplace and B2B SaaS platform that helps clinics and facilitators run medical-travel businesses - matching patients to vetted providers, automating coordination, payments and marketing. A global-health operator since 2000, he previously built MedToGo International, co-authored three industry guidebooks, took MedRepublic into TechCrunch Disrupt's top 25 startups of 2016, and graduated from Amplify LA's accelerator. His through-line is unglamorous but stubborn: transparent pricing, quality control, and giving patients real options.
