Meet Our CEO
Mr Dmitry Shibanov
I’ve spent 25+ years bridging clinical reality and technology across aged care, home care, NDIS, and hospital settings. My work is vendor-agnostic and outcomes-driven: I co-design with clinicians, run pilots that scale, and make sure the tech fades into the background so care comes first.
What I’m known for
Translating strategy into executable roadmaps
Sourcing and validating best-fit tech (no vendor bias)
Fast, safe implementations with measurable results
Change management that sticks with frontline teams
Services
Strategy & Advisory
Digital health strategy, funding pathways, compliance alignment, ROI modeling.
Technology Sourcing (Vendor-Agnostic)
Market scans, RFPs, due diligence, contract support—assistive tech, IoT, AI, robotics, EMR/EHR, analytics.
Solution Design & Project Delivery
Pilot-to-scale implementations, interoperability, integrations, cybersecurity and data governance.
Change, Training & Adoption
Human-centred design, clinician co-design, playbooks, training, go-live support.
Innovation Portfolio & Due Diligence
For providers, VC funds, and startups—tech evaluations, product-market fit, clinical safety and scale readiness.
Outcomes I Aim For
Better care quality with real-time insights and automation
Lean, reliable operations across sites and services
Reduced risk via continuous monitoring and governance
Happier teams with simpler workflows and less admin
How I Work
Co-design first. Clinicians and care teams shape the solution.
Pilot, then scale. Prove value quickly before wider rollout.
Interoperability over lock-in. Open, standards-aware architecture.
Measure what matters. Clear KPIs, dashboards, and feedback loops.
Safety & privacy baked in. Clinical governance and data protection from day one.
