yan Wilson is not a doctor, and he thinks
that's a big advantage for Medeo, a company
devoted to transforming the way we interact
with our health-care providers. When you're
trying to upend the status quo, he says, it's best
not to have any personal attachment to the way
things have always been done. Wilson came to
the medical field with the same attitude he had
when he was building electronic money transfer
systems as director of technology for VersaPay
Corp.: "Of course this is possible." In 14 months he
raised $4 million in venture funding, built a full-
time workforce of 30, plus 20 part-time physician
advisers, and has built a secure platform enabling
thousands of electronic interactions involving
both GPs and specialists. His response to resis-
tance from the status quo? "Surely if we can move
a billion dollars around on an iPhone we can
share a medical record securely." —D.G.
