Accelerating Efficiency and Quality of Healthcare with Omar Fuentes, CEO and Co-Founder of accel-EQ

The Transition by Bunker Labs

In the following episode of the Transition, I’m joined by Marine Corps Veteran and former Veterans in Residence Alumni Captain, Omar Fuentes, CEO and Co-Founder of accel-EQ, Digital Healthcare Platform that automates medical documentation using machine learning and artificial intelligence, in order to increase efficiency and eliminate wasted time, allowing providers to spend more time on their patients.

After transitioning out of the Marines, Omar spent a brief stint working in finance, before finding his pathway in healthcare and accumulating almost fourteen years in the industry, exposing him to back office inefficiencies. During this time, Omar lost his father, death with the death of a close friend to suicide, and his wife was diagnosed with stage three Hodgkin's Lymphoma, exposing him even more healthcare inefficiency. After getting fed up in 2020, Omar took the entrepreneur leap to launch accel-eq. On the show, Omar shares his journey from idea to inception, launching a tech platform despite not having a technical background, leveraging the Bunker Labs Network and participating in programs like the PenFed Masters, and why it’s important for him to show up his authentic self. For those of you who are thinking about launching a startup and have no idea where to begin, pay attention to Omar’s story.
