Our Story

During his twenty years as a physician, it became apparent to Dr. Govender that healthcare delivery was not keeping pace with patient needs. He set out to remedy this by attempting to improve his medical practice. Through trial and error, he realized that the remedy lay not in mending the existing system, but rather in creating a new, more effective one. A patient-centric approach utilizing technology was the answer.

Dr. Govender teamed up with Paul Lechner and Louise Craig-Hosking. The goal of their collaboration was to develop patient-centric, coordinated healthcare by utilizing secure, user-friendly technology.

Synaptek was founded in 2016, with a mission to deliver secure, yet easy to use, communication tools. Since its inception, Synaptek has evolved into a company that improves access to high quality healthcare, coordinates healthcare practitioners and ensures better health outcomes for patients locally and across Canada.
