MedRhythms develops innovative, evidence-based, digital therapeutics (DTx) that help patients suffering from neurological injury and disease. Our products leverage auditory-motor entrainment, the subconscious synchronization of auditory and motor systems in the presence of a rhythmic stimuli, to foster functional improvements. We literally use music to help patients retrain their brains. I am responsible for Product Management, Design, and Research.

I'm the Vice President of Software Products and Solutions at NantHealth, an innovative personalized healthcare company leveraging the power and reach of big-data analytics, Web-based SaaS, and the latest advances in the science of precision medicine to improve patient outcomes across our healthcare landscape, from the biggest hospital systems, to community oncologists otherwise disconnected from the cutting edge science revolutionizing cancer care. My team and I manage a broad portfolio of software applications and an evolving "NantOS" platform that allows us to innovate quickly and deliver at scale, securely, with the flexibility and reach healthcare requires. We are unifying a family of powerful software assets into a coherent, global system vision that will unite patients, providers, payers and other players in a collaborative network, with access to latest science, analytic insight, and wellness tools. We are on an exciting journey to revolutionize the ways that care can be provided and value can be managed to improve patient outcomes through the efficiencies of modern HIT.

I and my team of Product Managers are working hard to transition US Healthcare from a inefficient fee-for-service model, to a collaborative, value-based, and outcome-oriented system in which payers and providers work together to provide superior, data-driven patient care. I am responsible for product roadmap, release execution, and the innovative use of technologies in the development of America's largest interactive SaaS healthcare network.
