🎙 In this episode, Lalitha Ramamoorthy shares how Hikigai is helping physicians do what they're trained to do—focus on patient care—by removing administrative friction with AI.
From her roots as a registered dietitian and health coach to co-founding Hikigai, Lalitha brings a human-first mindset to healthcare technology. We discuss how her team is supporting primary care and expanding into specialty practices like nephrology, endocrinology, and gastroenterology, while ensuring that AI works behind the scenes—customized, integrated, and designed to feel seamless.
She also shares the powerful story of how Hikigai's KOI engine helped flag a missed diagnosis of Lyme disease by surfacing key environmental data.
