Ep. 254: From CTO to Founder: How Kevin Dias Is Revolutionizing EMR for Pediatric Therapy Clinics
What happens when a technology leader who's helped scale a therapy organization from 70 to 180 clinicians decides to build the tool he always wished existed? You get Ambiki — and you get Kevin Dias.Kevin is the founder of Ambiki, an EMR and practice management platform built specifically for pediatric speech, occupational, and physical therapy practices. Before launching Ambiki, Kevin served as CTO at Sidekick Therapy Partners, where he played a pivotal role in growing the organization from 70 to 180 clinicians in just three years. He knows firsthand what it takes to scale a therapy business — the operational chaos, the tech gaps, and the very real cost of using tools that were never designed with pediatric clinicians in mind.In this episode, co-host Rick Segal joins the conversation as Kevin pulls back the curtain on why he built Ambiki from the ground up, what makes pediatric therapy practices uniquely complex to run, and how the right technology can free clinicians to focus on what matters most — their patients. We also get into what it's like to build a U.S.-focused healthcare startup while living in Japan, the lessons he carries from his days as a CTO, and his vision for where pediatric therapy technology is headed.Whether you're a clinic owner, a therapist, or just someone fascinated by the intersection of healthcare and technology — this episode is packed with insight.Get your copy of Rick Segal's book, The Heart of It here: https://amplifypublishinggroup.com/product/nonfiction/business-and-finance/entrepreneurship/the-heart-of-it/Read Rick Segal’s blog: https://impactinvestorsegal.com/blog
