Our Story

Dr. Joe Kohli graduated from orthopedic residency and fellowship in 2008. He started practicing in Wisconsin and noticed significant shortcomings in the way medicine was practiced – specifically around data collection and patient communication. He started building software to help address those shortcomings, and began using the product at his hospitals. Patients loved the communication. Dr. Kohli’s patient satisfaction scores shot up. His physician partners started using the product and they noticed the same results. Mpirik was born.

Along the way, Dr. Kohli connected with cardiothoracic surgeon and innovator Dr. Dan O’Hair. Mpirik helped make noticeable progress in orthopedics, and Dr. O’Hair was interested in building technology for the cardiothoracic surgery department. The duo started brainstorming opportunities in the cardiac space, and Mpirik soon began working to address undertreatment of cardiovascular diseases.

As Mpirik takes on new challenges and expands its reach, the initial goal of improving the lives of patients and those who care for them remains the same.
