Rishi Nayyar

Rishi Nayyar is the Co-Founder and CEO of PocketHealth, a healthcare technology company focused on modernizing the healthcare experience through better connected care.

PocketHealth’s AI-powered patient engagement, enterprise image exchange and follow-up management solutions help healthcare systems deliver care without gaps by streamlining provider workflows, surfacing critical follow-ups, and giving patients the clarity they need to take an active role in their health.

“We started PocketHealth to fix what legacy systems couldn’t: imaging trapped in silos, follow-ups slipping through the cracks, and patients left out of the process,” says Rishi. “By combining smart technology with thoughtful product design, enabling providers to share the right records, surface the right clinical insights, and close the loop with every single patient.”

Since founding the company in 2016 with his brother and CTO, Harsh Nayyar, Rishi has led PocketHealth’s growth into a trusted partner to over 800 hospitals and imaging centers, empowering more than 2 million patients across North America.

Before PocketHealth, Rishi worked in Corporate & Investment Banking at Citigroup, where he gained experience navigating complex systems – knowledge he now applies to healthcare technology.
