In this episode of Medsider Radio, we sat down with Juan C. Jimenez, co-founder and CEO of AccurKardia, a startup developing software that uses ECG data to help doctors detect heart conditions more accurately and efficiently with AI.

Now, he’s making waves in the ECG diagnostics space with AccurKardia. Leveraging his background in finance and healthcare, Juan brings unique expertise on efficiency and scale for medtech startups.
