Saul Kornik
Founder & CEO, Healthforce and Kena Health
Saul Kornik has a varied background ranging from healthcare to technology to finance to machine learning to culture change. He is Co-Founder and CEO of Healthforce, an augmentation of technology and doctors that turns nurse-led clinics into effective and specialist health centers. Healthforce is a web application that enables real-time video connections between patients and nurses (or other primary care workers) with higher-level clinical skills (doctors) for the delivery of multi-disciplinary team-based care. The technology reduces care costs, increases care access, and monitors clinical and patient-centric care quality in real-time. Healthforce-supported nurses have run over 1 million consultations and have completed over 110,000 telemedicine consultations with remote doctors. He is also the Co-Founder and CEO of Kena Health. Kena will shortly be launching with a consumer-facing application that will allow the most marginalised in society to have a team of healthcare workers care for them on their phone - as well connect them into Healthforce-powered clinics. Saul has 15 years of entrepreneurial experience in healthcare, and has been a Archbishop Tutu Leadership Fellow and Yale World Fellow.
