About

🚀 Transforming Healthcare Tech: From Bedside to AI-Powered Efficiency! 🚀 A passionate product leader with over 8 years in healthcare technology. I thrive on blending my clinical roots in physiotherapy and hospital admin with cutting-edge AI to revolutionize Revenue Cycle Management (RCM). Think claims processing, payer rules, and encounter workflows—I’ve got the deep expertise to turn chaos into streamlined success, all while driving real business impact through strategic roadmaps and cross-functional magic. At athenahealth, as Product Manager for RCM, I’ve been the force behind migrating 15,000+ claim adjudication rules seamlessly—zero drama, maximum accuracy! I built an AI web crawler that slashes manual policy tracking by 37%, and re-engineered legacy logic to cut implementation time by 17%, sparking better team collab. Oh, and I optimized AWS costs by 30% monthly while hitting 99.97% uptime with slick Grafana dashboards. The result? Fewer denials, faster TATs, and roadmaps that deliver ahead of schedule. Who knew healthcare could be this efficient? I’m also honored to have been named to athenahealth’s Executive Circle for 2025—a recognition awarded to the top 0.2% of performers across the company, celebrating exceptional business impact while exemplifying athenahealth’s core values. Before that, at Edifecs as Product Analyst for Encounter Management, I owned modules across six states and nine health plans, nailing >95% claims acceptance. I automated templates to shave two weeks off projects, rolled out testing that zapped bugs by 40%, and even lifted team morale (eNPS up 6 points!) through fun engagement tweaks. From stakeholder interviews to crafting user stories, wireframes, and dashboards—I’ve mastered turning ideas into game-changing products. My foundation? A Master’s in Hospital Administration from TISS Mumbai (where I slashed discharge times by 31% in projects), plus a Master’s and Bachelor’s in Physiotherapy from CHARUSAT. I’m a Lean Six Sigma Green Belt, with published research on everything from internet addiction’s health toll to exercise’s hypertension-fighting powers. Beyond work, I’ve presented at the World Congress of Physical Therapy in Singapore, snagged third in international ergonomics conferences, won national physio quizzes three years running, and even led volleyball teams to bronze medals. Excited about AI in healthcare? Drop me a message—let’s collaborate on the next big innovation! 💡 #HealthcareTech #AIinMedicine #RCMExpert
