MedWand Solutions Inc., a maker of a high-end remote device for healthcare checkups, named Todd Cornell as its chief executive, effective Feb. 14.
Cornell succeeds Robert Rose, who co-founded the company a decade ago and served as its CEO for the past two years.
Cornell has more than three decades in the medical device industry, including at Abbott and Boston Scientific. He’s also worked at startups where he navigated the complexities of both European and U.S. commercial landscapes, the Rancho Santa Margarita-based company said in a statement.
“Todd brings a strong understanding of the industry to the company,” said Peter Farrow, executive chairman of MedWand. “We are confident that his leadership and expertise will help MedWand succeed in its mission to improve healthcare delivery.”
The company has built what it calls “the 21st-century digital house call,” a product that allows a doctor to remotely examine a patient. The medical-grade device, which looks like a big computer mouse, has a thermometer, stethoscope, EKG, pulse oximeter and high- definition camara.
Rose told the Business Journal last August that he aimed for a $50 million run rate this year.
