Marco Cevat, CEO and co-founder Mediventic |
"Marco Cevat ended up in healthtech after he himself was severely struck by health issues that ended a 30-year career in information technology. Because nobody could really identify the causes of these issues, and after misdiagnosis, poisoning from wrong medication and silly referrals, he decided to research them himself, with Mediventic as a result."
