The company simultaneously announced the appointment of Deepak Sharma as the CEO of the new venture and unveiled MedLern – the new brand which will represent the platform.
Sameer Shariff, Founder and CEO, Impelsys said, “I am excited to welcome Sharma on board as our new CEO.

His leadership will help us build on the momentum and scale up the venture to its true potential.”

Speaking about the new brand, Shariff explained, ”Medlern’s tagline is Better Prepared for Better Care – which sharply focuses the message on the mission we share with our Hospital partners. The simple visual shows how knowledge and compassion are inseparable parts of delivering a high quality of care. We want to dedicate our new brand to the healthcare community and nation and pledge to serve our shared mission.”
Sharma said, “Since we launched our mission last year in January, we have innovated rapidly to develop new strategies to support the hospital and healthcare community. Our digital platform is helping hospitals and healthcare workers stay battle ready. Managing ongoing changes to the work environment, protocols for infection control and emergencies is as critical as fighting burnout stress. It’s time that our frontline warriors had the best knowledge tools at their disposal to deliver a global standard of care. We want to do our bit to alleviate the dire shortage of skilled healthcare staff in our country.”
