The team

Built by people who understand both sides of the curtain.

We are a multidisciplinary team of clinicians and technical specialists working closely together. Clinicians bring the realities of care. Technical specialists bring the expertise to build. Each remains grounded in their discipline, while every solution is shaped by both.

Founder & CEO

Dr. Yahia Zine

MD, Anesthesiologist & Human Factors Innovator

It started with a needle, guided through tissue in high-stakes silence, where precision is everything. As an anesthesiologist, Dr. Zine experienced firsthand the moments where a single decision can save or harm. He also saw the deeper problem: front-line clinicians left with tools that were not built for them.
