About Us
The VidaTalk story began in 1999 when UCLA medical students Lance Patak and Bryan Traughber successfully launched the flagship EZ Board™. The product was inspired by Lance’s firsthand experience as an ICU nurse, where he developed the original prototypes. This milestone year ignited a lifelong commitment in understanding how closing communication impairment gaps can transform the outcomes of critically ill patients.
