Turning Personal Loss Into a Mission to Empower Physicians and Patients
WhadataMed was built on a deeply personal mission inspired by Shant’s family journey. After more than a year of battling the system, Shant’s father passed away. Determined to ensure no other family would endure the same unnecessary obstacles and heartache, he channeled this experience into creating WhadataMed, a platform designed to put patients and their families at the center of care. For Shant, WhadataMed is more than a company; it’s a tribute to his father and a testament to his commitment to making healthcare more compassionate and human centered.
