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.

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.
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.
