Santosh Venkatesha
Santosh Venkatesha is the Founder & CEO of Vigilant Medical, which is a healthcare IT company developing smart medical imaging solutions. The first commercial product, ImageShare, focused on enhancing physician collaboration and decision making with a HIPAA compliant web-based application currently used by medical centers across the US and worldwide. Over 30,000 patients benefit from this technology each year. Recently, his focus has turned to use of machine learning techniques to improve cardiac image analysis and to aid physician interpretation. This work began in collaboration with Duke University in 2018 as part of a successfully awarded NIH SBIR Phase 1 grant.
Prior to Vigilant Medical, Santosh was part of the management team of Infinite Biomedical Technologies from 1999 to 2009. He grew the company with the Johns Hopkins co-founders from startup to early stage starting from $300k to over $15M in funding. This company focused on translational research and development of medical diagnostics and devices in the application areas of cardiology, neurology, OB/GYN, GI, and upper limb amputees. This led to regulatory 510k approval for multiple products and eventual commercialization that continues today.
Santosh has a BSE in Biomedical Engineering from Duke University and an MBA from the Wharton Business School of the University of Pennsylvania.
