Spotting the Hidden Disease in Hospitals: A Founder’s Mission
Guest: John Klepper, Co-Founder of PIPRA What connects delirium,
dyslexia, AI, and hospital care? In this powerful episode of
CapricornConnect, we sit down with John Klepper, a serial
entrepreneur and co-founder of PIPRA, a Zurich-based healthtech
company tackling one of the biggest blind spots in medicine:
delirium. Delirium affects 1 in 4 patients over 60, yet 70% of
cases go undiagnosed. It’s a silent crisis that adds more cost to
the healthcare system than diabetes — and it’s deeply personal for
John. His own family’s experience, combined with his
dyslexia-driven approach to problem-solving, inspired him to create
AI-powered tools that help hospitals predict, prevent, and manage
this life-threatening condition. In this episode, we explore: - How
personal challenges can become innovation superpowers - The untold
impact of delirium — and why it's often missed - How AI is
transforming hospital care for the most vulnerable - What it takes
to build a startup with purpose in the healthcare space If you're
passionate about digital health, purposeful entrepreneurship, and
using technology to make care more human — this conversation is for
you. Listen now and discover how one founder’s mission is changing
lives.
