Our CEO
Founder & CEO
MD PhD | Emergency Medicine Specialist | Founder, Piko Technologies SA
Dr Philippe Koch (MD PhD) is a qualified emergency medicine physician and the founder of Piko Technologies SA, the company behind the Z-KUR personal safety app. With a career at the intersection of clinical emergency response and technology, Dr Koch identified a systemic gap: emergency services were overwhelmed, lacked cross-border capability, and were not leveraging available technology to protect citizens effectively.
Having recently lost many of his family members and friends in emergency situations, he found that emergency services were increasingly overwhelmed in many countries, did not offer any cross-border solutions and above all did not uniformly use all the advanced technologies currently available to help their citizens in the best possible way.
To remedy this, he decided to create the company Piko-Technologies in order to optimise the management of emergency situations, to save lives, those of his family, his children, our lives! while keeping in mind to minimise costs for the States as much as possible, whatever country in the world we find ourselves in.
"Because he wanted to find such a solution for his own family, he did so in the interest of all."
