Meet Our CEO
Octagos was founded by Shanti Bansal, MD, a practicing Cardiac Electrophysiologist and passionate innovator. With extensive experience managing the complexities of cardiac remote monitoring, Dr. Bansal recognized the significant burden clinicians face: navigating overwhelming data, inefficient reporting processes, and cumbersome technology that detracts from patient care.
Motivated to create a solution, Dr. Bansal established Octagos to provide physicians with cutting-edge tools designed to enhance efficiency, reduce workload, and prioritize patient outcomes. His vision was to simplify cardiac care while maintaining the clinical precision and integrity that physicians demand.
Today, Octagos reflects this vision, combining clinical expertise and advanced technology to empower providers and shape the future of cardiac care.
