Summary
Mediktor CEO & Co-founder Cristian Pascual joins StartUp Health’s Logan Plaster for a Health Moonshot Update on how AI-powered triage is evolving in 2026, and why healthcare still needs a professional tool, not a general-purpose one.
StartUp Health community member Cristian Pascual has built Mediktor around solving the first, and often hardest, step in healthcare: helping people figure out where to go for care. In this conversation, Pascual explains why Mediktor has always run on AI even before LLMs entered the picture, how the company is layering conversational AI on top of a decade of clinical safety work, and why governments are now Mediktor's biggest growth opportunity. He also shares candid advice for early-stage founders on building the kind of trust it takes to land enterprise and government deals.
