As a trained neurosurgeon, Dr. Chris Mansi is familiar with the challenges patients face in accessing lifesaving treatments. After earning an MBA from Stanford and enrolling in their Biodesign Medical Innovation track, he learned to develop multifaceted and technology-based solutions to improve healthcare workflows. 
 
In this episode, host Geoff Pardo speaks with Mansi about Viz.ai, a revolutionary application that increases patient access to life-saving treatments in over 1,200 hospitals. Every minute an ischemic stroke patient waits for treatment equates to approximately 2 million neurons lost and a week of disability. Viz.ai abbreviates the sometimes five-hour-long process of securing a specialist to merely minutes, changing the course of patients’ lives. Mansi also discusses how to address naivety in entrepreneurship, the value of an interdisciplinary mindset in improving patient outcomes, and the importance of creating a value-based company with mission-driven employees.
