Terms like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and automation tend to cause two reactions: trepidation or excitement. And while AI and automation have undoubtedly blended into popular culture as tenets of sci-fi and dystopian futures, AI and automation should evoke more excitement rather than fear for what they can bring to our futures, especially in healthcare.
So, how is AI transforming the future of healthcare?
On the latest episode of the Healthcare ReThink podcast, host Brian Urban discusses the game-changing technology being introduced to healthcare with Co-Founder and COO of CloudMedx, Sahar Arshad.
The two discuss:
- How AI is unifying the healthcare system
- How CloudMedx uses AI and automation to improve operations and clinical outcomes
- How AI and automation is being adopted throughout the healthcare industry
“There’s a lot of opportunity to grow in places where it can really elevate the experience for everyone—patients, providers, payers. The experience is very, very broken, right? For a patient, there’s long wait times, there’s you don’t know how much a procedure would cost, it’s just a lot of confusion, and similarly with physicians it’s the same problem, lots of documentation and administrative work…” said Arshad.
Sahar Arshad is the Co-Founder and COO of CloudMedx, a healthcare data aggregation company that puts data into a single unified platform. She has over 20 years of experience in building products that bring convenience and accessibility at scale.

About the author
Brian Urban works at Duo Health. His MarketScale recordings feature his earlier FinThrive work as host of Healthcare Rethink and as a guest discussing health data, access and care delivery. Brian often asks for the story before the job title. Introducing his interview with Shawn Nason, he asks to go back before Mofi, before the board roles and even before Disney. That opening gives the guest room to explain how earlier experiences shaped the work. In his own personal conversation, Brian describes a day bookended by his children and animals: feeding dogs, ducks and chickens at six in the morning, then settling everyone again at night. His guest list also follows the people connecting health research with organizational decisions. Claire Manneh brings provider research and data tokenization to the discussion; Sameer Kokan explains the business and accountability work behind health-equity initiatives at Point32Health. Their career paths are part of the interviews alongside the technical and organizational questions.
