Panel will explore how agentic AI workflows are transforming medical front-office operations and helping specialty practices expand patient access
SAN FRANCISO, CA, UNITED STATES, February 27, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Ankr Health, a Y Combinator and MedTech Innovator–backed company that has pioneered AI employee solutions for medical practices, today announced that its Chief Executive Officer, Ray Rao, MD, will participate as a panelist at MedTech Rodeo 2026, taking place March 3-4, 2026 in Houston, TX.
Dr. Rao will participate in the panel discussion, “Agentic Workflow: MedTech’s Next Productivity Breakthrough” scheduled for March 4, 2026, from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM CST. Other panelists include Tony Mango of Orlando Health, Darcy Bachert and Chris Kennedy of Prolucid, Robert Hamilton of NeuraSignal, and Nader Fathi of Enlil, Inc.
“Healthcare access is increasingly constrained not by clinical capacity, but by front-office operational bottlenecks,” said Ray Rao, MD, CEO of Ankr Health. “AI employees represent a fundamental shift–from software that merely assists staff to a package of capabilities that not only executes complex operational tasks in clinics, but also communicate with patients, doctors and staff on phone, emails, Teams, and EHR inboxes.
Across multiple specialties and in clinics nationwide, Ankr’s AI employees have demonstrated ability to:
– Independently schedule appointments in multiple EHR systems,
– Write phone encounter and clinic visit notes,
– Answer 1000+ calls a day without breaks and with exceptional patient satisfaction scores
“Ankr customers have generated $25,000+ in net new per-physician revenue while improving margins and patient satisfaction. This is the story that we are excited to share with the distinguished attendees at MedTech Rodeo.”
