#66. Ramkumar Venkatesan, My Gift to America
The AI Doctor’s Assistant: How One Immigrant is Healing Healthcare Ramkumar Venkatesan’s gift to America is healthcare reborn. His AI startup Simmer tackles systemic inefficiencies: doctors shackled by paperwork, and patients lost in translation. Medscribe, Simmer’s flagship product, listens to consultations in 100+ languages, instantly generating notes, prescriptions, and visual aids for clearer diagnoses. For immigrant families, it means care without language barriers. For overworked clinicians, it’s time reclaimed for patient connection. Ramkumar’s journey — from immigrant to innovator — mirrors America’s promise: ingenuity in service of equity. His AI doesn’t replace doctors; it amplifies their humanity. In a nation straining under healthcare disparities, Simmer offers a lifeline—one algorithm at a time. Follow and support Simmer for a future of care that is clear, connected, and compassionate.
