From Chaos to Clarity in Data with Malinka Walaliyadde

In this episode of Raising Health, Malinka Walaliyadde, CEO and co-founder of ACASA, discusses with Julie Yoo from A16Z Bio and Health, how ACASA is using AI, specifically LLMs, to simplify the complexities of the healthcare revenue cycle, particularly medical coding. Malinka argues that while American medicine is advanced, the healthcare payment system is not, leading to friction for providers and confusion for patients. ACASA focuses on improving communication between patients and payers by leveraging AI to understand and interpret medical records, thereby accelerating the medical coding process. They also address the challenges and opportunities presented by the rapidly evolving LLM landscape, the importance of specialized data sets, and the need for deep domain expertise.
