 Dr. Patak has worked in the healthcare industry for over 30 years and is currently a Pediatric Anesthesiologist at University of Washington Medical Center and Seattle Children's Hospital. He spent his early years working as a nursing assistant at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and UCLA Medical Center, which is where he researched communication problems with mechanically ventilated patients and helped bring to market the Vidatak EZ Board, an evidence-based communication tool for intubated and non-verbal patients. He then went on to become a nurse where he spent another 8 years working at UCLA Medical Center while completing his medical degree at The David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. Concurrent to his medical degree, he also earned a Master’s in Business Administration at the Marshall School of Business at USC. When the EZ Boards began being used as a point-of-care translation tool for patients who could speak, but had limited English proficiency, he combined his understanding of this need and developed VidaTalk. This effort was funded by the NIH with a 5-year longitudinal research study conducted at the Ohio State University School of Nursing ensuring VidaTalk would be an effective solution for critically ill patients. The EZ Board and VidaTalk are now used globally, driving equitable care for patients with speech and language barriers across the world.
