Message from Founder / CEO Raj Gopalan MD., MSIS

Dr. Raj Gopalan is a senior physician executive with formal training and a degree in medical informatics, bringing more than 30 years of experience spanning clinical medicine and health information technology.

He successfully designed, developed, and implemented an EMR system at one of the premier academic health systems in the U.S.—a system recognized among the nation’s best at the Computerworld Award Ceremony in Washington, D.C. This EMR was later acquired by Siemens Healthcare. As CMIO of a large multi-hospital integrated delivery system, he led a team that deployed CPOE across more than 30 hospitals within three years, achieving 80% physician adoption on day one. Every one of these hospitals ultimately achieved HIMSS Level 7 certification.

As Head of Innovation at a global clinical decision support company, Dr. Gopalan pioneered AI/ML-driven, point-of-care tools that earned multiple international innovation awards. Later, as Global Head of Clinical Decision Support at a leading MedTech company, he advanced the development of AI/ML models to predict risks for lung, colon, and liver cancers—work that has been consistently recognized at ADLM conferences.

He has presented at numerous national and international forums and is deeply passionate about healthcare analytics, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. He believes AI/ML will not only shape the strategic direction of healthcare but also transform daily operations, enabling health systems to deliver the highest quality of care with optimal efficiency and reduced cost—essential for thriving in a value-based care environment.

Dr. Gopalan emphasizes that computer intelligence will not replace healthcare professionals, but clinicians and organizations that fail to embrace AI/ML will be left behind by those who do. His leadership has consistently demonstrated that AI-assisted healthcare organizations achieve superior outcomes in efficiency, quality, and cost, while also strengthening their ability to negotiate favorable payer contracts.
