"In 2006, I founded my first company, VideoKall, serving as CEO alongside two cofounders. The company enabled migrant workers to video visit relatives back home and transfer funds instantly during the call."
"By 2019, we demonstrated a complete patient examination room cabin with self-cleaning and self-sanitizing. We're currently raising capital to go to market."
"Low-cost, conveniently accessible, quality healthcare is one of the best hopes we can have on earth. I haven't taken a salary in 15 years."
"What keeps me motivated is the promise of bringing healthcare to patients, whether they're at home, work, shopping, or traveling."
VK Digital Health, founded by Charlie Nahabedian, transitioned from VideoKall to healthcare in 2009, focusing on uncrewed clinics and telecommunications. By 2015, they demonstrated a satellite-based system, and by 2019, a complete patient examination room. The company plans to reach 2,500 locations in underserved areas with mobile units. The pandemic prompted the addition of new products, and by 2024, they raised over $2 million and secured four patents. Nahabedian, at 85, remains motivated by the goal of providing quality healthcare without taking a salary for 15 years.
