Dr. Kal Patel is a physician and MBA entrepreneur who has spent two decades advancing healthcare through digital innovation. After leading digital health initiatives at major pharmaceutical and medical technology companies including Amgen and Novartis, he co-founded BrightInsight in 2018 to provide standardized technology infrastructure for the life sciences industry.
The platform allows biopharma and medtech companies to develop regulated digital health solutions — from connected devices to software algorithms — without building custom systems from scratch. Under his leadership, BrightInsight has formed partnerships with companies including Roche and AstraZeneca, raised $65 million in venture funding, and grown its team, with Patel focused on removing the time and cost barriers that once required companies to spend $10 to $20 million and years of development to launch a single digital health product.
