Dr. Pavol Cekan (CEO & co-founder of MultiplexDX International) was invited by the Startup Grind community in Bratislava to discuss ideas about upcoming technologies and new trends in the healthcare industry. Daniel Coulton Shaw, a healthcare entrepreneur and international clinic ambassador, moderated the session. Pavol and Daniel engaged in a thought-provoking and interactive debate about revolutionizing the healthcare industry. Pavol spoke about his scientific background and transformation from a scientist to businessman as well as MutiplexDX and the challenges of crowdfunding. He described the situation of the healthcare system in Slovakia from the view of cancer diagnostics and treatment and expressed his vision and ideas for improvement.
Outlining the corner-stone of his plan, Dr. Pavol Cekan said:
“A proactive and willing patient becomes a centerpiece of the healthcare system and is actively involved in getting better health care, precise diagnostics and personalized treatment.”
