Team & Board

EKGx is supported by experienced clinicians, engineers, and healthcare operators, alongside institutional partners with deep healthcare and investment expertise.

Meet Our Founder

Shachar Barel, Founder & CEO is a medical entrepreneur with over 13 years of experience building healthcare solutions from the ground up. Trained at the IDF Military Medical School, he founded Safety Medic, a medical equipment distribution and development company serving Israel and international markets, and later launched Health on Wheels, a mobile diagnostics platform delivering hospital-grade imaging directly to underserved communities.

Throughout his career, Shachar has worked across the full medical device lifecycle, from concept and regulatory strategy to manufacturing, commercialization, and distribution. EKGx is the culmination of that journey, built to make advanced cardiac diagnostics dramatically faster, more accessible, and easier to deploy in any setting where speed, accuracy, and reliability matter.
