Abrar Syed’s older brother, Azaad, was in remission from liver cancer when he was given an accidental, lethal drug overdose at a hospital in their hometown of Karachi, in Pakistan. In an ultimate act of brotherly love, Syed launched AzaadLabs and set out on a mission to make sure no one else lost a loved one the way he did due to poor care coordination. Syed joins a host of entrepreneurs working to bring the digital health revolution to historically disadvantaged and hard-to-reach populations. Read how Syed and the founders of access.mobile and Electronic Health Network are fusing together radical collaborations and using emerging technologies like blockchain to tackle access to care, no matter the obstacles.
