Why Virtual Weight Management Needs to Be Outcomes-Driven and Device-Enabled

As payers and health systems seek scalable solutions to address obesity, the conversation is shifting from access to accountability. Virtual weight management programs have emerged as a critical tool for expanding reach, but to deliver real value, these programs must prove their value ahead of the competition in an increasingly competitive market. This proof needs to be shown in both ROI and patient and population outcomes. The obesity epidemic is well documented, but as recent research

The Invisible Risk Factor: Why Chronic Loneliness Is Sabotaging Chronic Care and Medication Adherence

Connectivity was supposed to bring us closer. Instead, it’s exposing a dangerous gap in our healthcare system. The very tools designed to link us have scaled rapidly, but without addressing one of the most urgent and invisible threats to health: loneliness. Former Surgeon General Vivek Murthy recently delivered a stark reminder: Chronic loneliness carries the same mortality risk as smoking 15 cigarettes a day. His warning hits especially hard in healthcare, where digital relationships are on

Guardrails for AI in Medicare Risk Adjustment: Navigating Innovation Without Losing Control

by Arun Hampapur, PhD Co-Founder CEO, Bloom Value Fellow, IEEE 10/20/2025 Leave a Comment

Arun Hampapur, PhD – Co-Founder & CEO, Bloom Value; Fellow, IEEE

Implementing AI in Risk Adjustment for Managed Care is like adding rocket fuel to your engine—from accelerating chart reviews to identifying coding opportunities in near real-time, AI can dramatically improve efficiency, accuracy, and compliance. But without the right safeguards, the same tools can just as easily magnify errors, introduce bias, and create costly regulatory exposure.  As Managed Care organizations navigate this rapidly evolving landscape, a key question looms:  How

The $168B Answer: How AI Can Tame Healthcare’s Untamed Administrative Beast

by Dushyant Mishra, Co-founder and CEO of RapidClaims 10/20/2025 Leave a Comment

The $168 Billion Answer: How AI Can Tame Healthcare’s Untamed Administrative Beast

A quick google (or generative AI) search will pour hundreds of statistics about the dire state of healthcare costs plaguing our nation. Whether it’s the fact that we spend almost 5x as much as neighboring Canada per capita on healthcare administrative costs or that it means every 4th dollar spent is wasted, there are numerous scary statistics we have grown used to reading.  It certainly wasn’t meant to be. How did a system designed to heal become so broken and smeared in complexity

Unstructured Data Crisis: How AI Solves Healthcare's Biggest Interoperability Challenge

One of the most daunting quandaries in healthcare is managing the abundance of data that are generated every day. The challenge isn’t just the vast volume of information, but the fact that most data are unstructured. Unstructured data require a considerable amount of manual intervention to read the contents and determine where the information needs to be integrated for the most efficient action. These data challenges multiply as organizations struggle to compile information across various

5 Ways Remote Patient Monitoring is Reducing Hospital Readmissions

5 Ways Remote Patient Monitoring is Reducing Hospital Readmissions

Hospitals right now are working at full capacity, with bed occupancy around 75% in the U.S. and it is projected to rise even further. The hospital overcrowding ultimately leads to longer waits for care, delays, staff burnout, and poor patient treatment outcomes.  The good news is that technology is evolving fast and is here to reduce the hospital bed-shortage crisis. Remote patient monitoring (RPM) is one of the solutions that helps reduce the burden on the providers, as it allows

Multi-Vector Attacks: Why Healthcare’s Siloed Security Approach Is Failing Now

Multi-Vector Attacks: Why Healthcare’s Siloed Security Approach Is Failing Now

In football, it’s called an all-out blitz. In cybersecurity, it’s called a multi-vector attack. Five years ago, most cyber attacks were of the single-vector variety: a phishing expedition or a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack. Now cyber criminals are more sophisticated, launching multi-vector onslaughts that might simultaneously involve those tactics plus attempts at data exfiltration, account takeover and credential stuffing. By probing for multiple vulnerabilities at the same

The $150 Billion Problem: How Missed Appointments Crush Healthcare and Risk Lives

Nicole is a 35-year-old single mother living in Boston. She recently completed treatment for breast cancer and was scheduled for a follow-up screening. The clinic sent a single text message reminder and a letter. She intended to call and reschedule once things settled, but between juggling two part-time jobs and managing childcare, the appointment slipped by. That screening was meant to catch any early signs of recurrence. When the first reminder failed, no system flagged her as at risk or
