“I used to discuss ideas with doctors about developing solutions based on computer vision. At that time, my focus was on detecting hard-to-diagnose conditions using CT scans, MRIs, and fluorography.

They told me that if I created a project in this field, it could save countless lives. Their words inspired me, and I decided to pursue this idea,” said Dastan Mukhamediyev.
His enthusiasm for the project led him to develop a cardiac diagnostics solution, which he presented at Astana Hub’s AI’preneurs acceleration program that summer. More than 500 applicants competed for a spot in the program, but only 10 projects made it through the final selection. This program helped Mukhamediyev find a co-founder, ML engineer Shaigazy Mukhtarov. Later, two more co-founders, Nurbakhyt Akylbekov and Abay Shirinov, joined the team.
