Amanda is part of the senior leadership team at Cogitativo. She is responsible to lead Cogitativo's next chapter of growth agenda, solution transformation, thought leadership and driving quantitative economic outcomes.Cogitativo, pronounced (co-hee-ta-tee-vo), is Spanish for meditative and contemplating. We inform organizations what they do not already know. With causal machine learning, at the forefront of data science methods, we “think deeply” to detect operational chock points “unbeknownst” and “unforeseen” to healthcare leaders. We perform sweeping and exhaustive forensic detection of challenges to causes of financial leakages typically without prior knowledge of the company's idiosyncrasies. Educated at some of the world’s top academic institutions, our data scientists use Deep Reinforcement Learning and Machine Reasoning to provide healthcare organizations with unbiased, scientific view into their operational performance that is financial quantifiable. This enables organizations to expand margin and reduce cost due to otherwise “undetected” failures in their operational processes. Our platform provides a prescriptive and guided approach allowing health plans and providers understand the effectiveness of specific operational interventions that drive measurable outcomes.For more information about Cogitativo and our mission, visit www.cogitativo.com
