Revolutionizing Healthcare Technology with Alex Koshykov | Scale Like a CEO
Manage episode 518212993 series 3670903
Imagine a healthcare system where the first mile of care starts at home—and the data is so clear your doctor can act with confidence. That’s the future we explore with serial founder and CEO Alex Koshykov, who moved from building bespoke tech for clients to launching a medical device company born from a volunteer telehealth project supporting Ukrainians in wartime. The lesson that changed everything: software alone can’t diagnose; accurate data can.
We break down how Alex’s team shifted from services to product, why clinicians kept asking for better signals, and what it takes to design devices that work in the real world. Alex explains the core healthcare data problem that limits AI today and shares a grounded approach to machine learning—use AI to amplify good information, not replace clinical judgment. We also dig into the scaling playbook behind his flat, high‑retention organization: careful hiring for excellence, cultural fit that outlasts hype cycles, and organic growth triggered by real demand rather than headcount vanity.
If you lead a startup, you’ll hear practical strategies for delegation, remote collaboration, and protecting focus while running multiple ventures. If you work in health tech, you’ll get a candid view on data quality, patient access, and how home diagnostics can bridge care gaps globally. Alex’s vision is simple and ambitious: make reliable at‑home diagnostics as common as a blood pressure cuff, then let AI deliver timely insights that help patients and doctors act sooner.
