How AI and Automation is Changing Healthcare

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.

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. Prior to founding CloudMedx, Arshad worked as a woman in tech in various roles, including as a Business Analyst for Inbox Business Technologies and as the CEO of Imaginate Technologies.

She has been awarded numerous industry awards, including selection as a U. S. Data Leader of the Year and U.

S. Entrepreneur of the Year at the 2021 Women in IT Summit and Awards Series. She has also been named among the top 10 women leading healthcare startups by Healthcare Global and within the top 25 women leaders in consumer health tech by the Healthcare Technology Report.

She earned her BS in Computer Science from the National University of Computer and Emerging Sciences.

SCI recruits funeral sales as the career AI cannot replace

SCI recruits funeral sales as the career AI cannot replace

SCI's recruiting video positions funeral and cremation sales as a career resistant to automation by emphasizing the human trust required in end-of-life planning. The pitch frames the role as requiring both compassion and sales drive, targets people outside the industry, and leans on demographic demand from an aging population to argue for job stability.

  • 01More than 11,000 Americans turn 65 daily, SCI says demand will grow.
  • 02SCI seeks candidates with dual traits: compassion and empathy alongside sales-oriented drive and tenacity.
  • 03The role requires no prior industry experience; SCI provides training, coaching, and technology to prepare newcomers.

CURORI Details Readiness Framework for Planned Ten-City Expansion in China

CURORI, a China-based medical-aesthetic coordination platform founded in 2025, has outlined a readiness framework to expand its city coverage from five to ten Chinese destinations by the end of 2027. The expansion will be phased around provider and service readiness rather than destination count alone, with review areas including qualified doctors, licensed institutions, procedure categories, communication processes, and practical factors for international users.

  • 01CURORI plans to expand from five currently served cities (Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Hangzhou) to ten by December 31, 2027, with Chengdu, Xi'an, Wuhan, and two additional locations under evaluation.
  • 02The company's readiness framework requires operational checks across provider qualifications, licensed institutions, procedure availability, assessment requirements, communication processes, quotation clarity, appointment coordination, and follow-up arrangements before launching in new cities.
  • 03CURORI has a separate objective to help reduce client costs by approximately 10% by the end of 2026 through comparison, clearer quotation information, free initial coordination, and future incentives.
