In this episode, Lindsay Dyer talks with Rick Adams, Co-Founder of Skali. Skali aims to transform emergency medical response in the aviation field. Medical emergencies are a when, not an if. Limited resources in the air can create intense and stressful situations quickly. Rick covers how the idea was born and how the service works. Pre-flight screening, AI integration, and Crew Care are all features discussed as well. Finally, Rick provides lessons and advice for other entrepreneurs just starting out.
