Ashok didn't start as your usual tech guy; he started as a physical therapist treating veterans at VA hospitals, traveling through small-town America, working everywhere from ICUs to homehealth. And everywhere he went, he saw the same issue: people either had to come to you or you had to go to them, and in rural areas, services were just too far away.  Skip to 2017, Ashok and his wife (also a physical therapist) are watching TV when a commercial for virtual mental health therapy comes on. They look at each other and ask: "Why doesn't this exist for physical therapy?" Everyone said it couldn't work (the word itself is physical therapy, right?), but Ashok realized most of PT could be replicated virtually. No hospitals would pilot it, no payment model existed, then the pandemic hit, and what seemed impossible, became essential.  These days, Ashok's working with major health systems like Providence Health, and building AI-powered clinical documentation tools that are actually adopted by clinicians.
