In today’s episode, I’m joined by Michael and Shyam, the co-founders of Advoca, for a wide-ranging conversation about healthcare, technology, and building impact at scale.

We talk about their individual backgrounds, how they met, and how their shared love of technology and improving people’s lives intersected with their training as doctors. That journey led to the creation of Advoca, an app designed to help people get more from their medical appointments, by retaining key information, making sense of complex conversations with doctors or consultants, and supporting follow-up actions after appointments.

In true Purple Changemaker style, we also explore the realities of the entrepreneurial startup journey, how Michael and Shyam are using AI and social media within their venture, and the broader potential for technology like this to improve healthcare experiences for people with a wide range of health conditions.

Thanks for listening, and I hope you enjoy the conversation.
