About

I am the Founder and CEO of Oprox, a venture-backed AI company reimagining revenue intelligence for healthcare organizations. I am a Booth MBA and former BCG consultant, and I’ve spent over a decade across roles in health tech, most recently leading product at a healthcare AI startup through its $6B private equity acquisition. I then founded Oprox. I contribute to Forbes on the intersection of AI, healthcare operations, and how automation is reshaping healthcare revenue workflows.

The next generation of healthcare AI must address both sides of the problem.

Common IT Issues That Signal Bigger System Problems

expert panel

Many IT support tickets begin with what appears to be a single-user issue: a slow application, a failed login or a missing file. But these seemingly isolated complaints can be the first visible signs of deeper problems involving networks, identity systems, integrations, security controls or infrastructure.Finding the real cause means looking beyond the individual instance and checking for patterns across users, systems and environments. Below, members of Forbes Technology Council share commonly misdiagnosed IT issues and explain the diagnostic steps that can help teams uncover broader problems before they spread.

App Safety Red Flags: Warning Signs Users Shouldn’t Ignore

expert panel

Thousands of new apps appear in app stores every year, and it’s getting harder to tell which ones are legitimate and which could put personal or business data at risk. A polished interface, strong rating or confident privacy claim can make an app look trustworthy, but those signals don’t always tell the full story.Before downloading a new tool—or giving it access to sensitive information—it’s worth taking a closer look at what the app is asking for and who’s behind it. Members of Forbes Technology Council share red flags that can help users make smarter decisions about which apps deserve their trust.

Cloud infrastructure, AI-powered development tools and more accessible funding channels have made it faster and cheaper than ever to turn an idea into a working tech product. But while the barriers to building a tech product have dropped, the barriers to building a durable business haven’t; in some ways, they’ve only been stacked higher.With more new companies entering the market and more products competing for buyers’ attention, tech startup founders have to think beyond launch speed. Below, members of Forbes Technology Council share which parts of the startup journey have become harder in recent years and how founders can navigate those challenges more effectively.

Healthcare AI Is Booming. So Why Are Providers Still Losing Billions?

The reason is not a lack of innovation. It is a matter of direction. The industry has been automating the wrong thing.

Company bio

Oprox is a venture-backed AI company rebuilding how healthcare providers manage revenue. Today, most revenue cycle management is reactive. Teams chase denials, rework claims, and discover lost revenue weeks after it's gone. That burden does not stay in the billing office. It pulls clinicians into paperwork and delays the care patients are waiting on. Oprox flips that model. Our platform uses AI to predict where revenue will break down and intervenes before it does, so clinical teams spend less time fighting administrative friction and more time with patients. We've started with prior authorization in behavioral health, a high-friction, high-denial workflow that's still largely run by hand, where every delayed approval is a patient waiting longer for treatment. The underlying engine generalizes. The same system that anticipates an authorization denial can anticipate the coding gaps, claim risks, and payer behaviors that drain revenue across the entire cycle. Oprox is built by operators who spent years inside healthcare and got tired of watching revenue leak through problems that were predictable all along, knowing that every leak meant a clinician buried in admin work and a patient stuck waiting. Behind every authorization Oprox clears is a patient whose treatment starts on time and never stalls.
