S. Yin Ho, M.D., M.B.A.

A serial entrepreneur and visionary executive in the Health IT and clinical research space, Dr. Ho has been founding, building, and leading Health IT companies and initiatives for over 25 years.

Most recently, Dr. Ho was the interim CEO at Veradigm (MDRX) where she led the strategic acquisition of a generative AI company, Science IO. As the first electronic health record firm to have its own proprietary LLM capabilities (in the form of small language models) in-house, she charted a direction to improve the quality of data collection and data abstraction for both clinical care and research. A longtime strategic thinker, Dr. Ho also founded and led Context Matters Inc. — the first data analytics software company focused on global health technology assessments and linking health economics to clinical trial outcomes. Today, Context Matters is part of Clarivate Analytics (CLVT).

Always at the forefront of major health IT developments, Dr. Ho led eHealth at Pfizer (PFE) in the early years of Health IT, and served as the Chief Product and Strategy Officer for Aetion in the first years of real world evidence. She was also the VP of Product and Corporate Strategy at Medidata, and part of the executive team who led the company through its IPO.

Originally trained as an emergency medicine physician at Yale, Dr. Ho became excited about the potential of eHealth and changed careers quickly by earning an MBA from Harvard just as eHealth/Health IT was emerging. In fact, to help push the Health IT ecosystem along, she co-founded New York City Health Business Leaders (NYCHBL) — now Digital Health New York (DHNY) — to propel NYC into the healthcare innovation juggernaut it is today.

Dr. Ho is currently on the Board of Directors at Segmed (an AI-enabled radiology data aggregator for real world evidence) and serves as an advisor to Lighten AI (a clinical abstraction AI company) and Novellia (an AI-enabled personal health data company).

Today, she is focusing on how AI can be developed responsibly in healthcare. As AI transforms how we view patient treatments, new research, and the role of healthcare professionals, Dr. Ho maintains a humanist perspective. She has written a book (Rushing Headlong) -- available in October 2025 which focuseson the history of Health IT and the lessons we should consider as we embark on this uncharted course of AI development.

Dr. Ho earned her B.A. from Brown University, her M.D. from Yale University School of Medicine, and her M.B.A. from Harvard Business School.
