this first hand. When fire destroyed his home in L.A., the pain meds he’d been using went up in smoke too. A few days later, after trying to con- sole himself with a steak dinner, his digestive pain was just too intense. Lacking his regular meds lost in the fire and unable to cope with the pain, he had to be hospitalized. For months Brown had been telling specialists
that something just wasn’t right. He was losing weight and feeling lethargic. He’d had full-body scans, a colonoscopy, an endoscopy, and cardiac tests to try to figure out what was wrong. His gastroenterologist told him to take Gas-X, and his cardiologist said it was just stress. But once in the hospital ER, doctors discov-
ered what Brown’s other specialists had missed: He was suffering from an aggressive blood cancer that, left untreated, would certainly claim his life. Sitting in the hospital, Brown wondered why
his regular doctors didn’t find anything. He could have been diagnosed a year earlier had he known what tests were necessary. That’s when Brown, knowing the capabilities of AI, decided to go to work. As soon as he uploaded all his medical data,
the chatbot confirmed he had blood cancer. And Brown soon learned something else . . . he needed approval for off-label, experimental use of a new drug that AI recommended. Without it, he feared he would soon require a heart transplant. Fortunately, given his connections, Brown was
able to secure an appointment with oncologists at the Mayo Clinic who confirmed the drug was ex- actly what he needed. Since then, his health has rebounded to the
point that his cancer may be in remission. Now, Brown has turned his entrepreneurial
energies to creating an “agentic AI” system at CureWise, one of the companies he founded. His goal: to give every patient struggling with
a medical problem their own virtual panel of can- cer experts to provide the best possible course of treatment for their specific disease.
Innovator Curing Healthcare Woes

CEO Chris Gay feels health consumers’ pain — and he’s confident artificial intelligence (AI) can help. “We have all suffered under the current system,” declares Gay. That’s a stunning
admission coming from the leader of the Dallas-based health tech company Evry Health, which also provides insurance. In an exclusive Newsmax
interview, Gay explains why he believes leveraging AI can fix what’s ailing in the hidebound U.S. health insurance industry, which routinely denies millions of treatment authorization requests annually.
Q: You say the average person is suffering under the current healthcare system. Why? Gay: The majority of Americans have less than $5,000 in savings. Yet, some health plans out there have deductibles of $5,000 or higher. A lot of people are going to choose to defer or delay treatment because they’ve got bills to pay, and that can have horrible, life- changing outcomes. Our job is to encourage care. We make money when people get healthier over the long term.
How can you “bring humanity back to health insurance,” as your mission at Evry states, and still turn a profit? We’ve reaped huge
amounts of eficiencies behind the scenes, and we pass on those savings to our customers and our patients. We own our own medical network. We took the time over several years to build partnerships with physicians and hospitals and medical providers, and that gives us extra medical quality control and cost control that again, we can pass through.
We know 40% to 45% of prior authorization requests, often over a hundred pages, are still sent by facsimile. How does your AI-based system help? Our AI-powered software immediately digitizes it, does a patient eligibility check, a facility eligibility check, a provider eligibility check and verification, and a medical code verification and eligibility check. It does that all in real time, in a split second. And then also in real
time it reads the 130 pages of attached clinical notes . . . dense lab notes and clinical tests . . . we use AI-powered tools to read through that very quickly and find the key medical findings and compare those to the science-based medical care guidelines that all insurers use to try to get to an approval. That would normally take 30 to 50 minutes of a doctor or nurse’s time. We’re able to do that now
in five to 10 minutes, and the doctors and the patients get an answer hopefully in minutes rather than hours or days. — D.P.
