I Am Not a Technologist Who Learned Healthcare
I’m a physician.
I operate daily in the bloody, high-stakes trenches of healthcare—performing complex, high-impact procedures where causality isn’t theoretical. It’s immediate. It’s physiological. It’s life-altering.
At the same time, I serve as CEO of medical provider entities, e-commerce ventures, and CIMSS—Comprehensive Integrated Management Systems and Solutions—a management and technology company built to redesign healthcare architecture. I recently spoke to Salesforce’s global team at their annual meeting. People often ask how I bridge these worlds while remaining clinically active.
The answer’s simple: I didn’t start with software. I started with ontology.

Stepping Beyond Academia: Choosing Real-World Impact
Like Alex Karp of Palantir, I came to a realization.
The walls of great academic institutions are intellectually rich and historically noble—but their impact can be constrained by structure, tradition, and limited scalability. I didn’t reject academia. I respected it deeply. But I decided that if I wanted real-world systemic impact, I needed to step beyond the walls of hallowed institutions and build operating systems that function under real pressure.
I chose to create impact in the real world.
Organizations like MIMIT Health became living platforms for that impact—not theoretical constructs, but functioning enterprises where clinical excellence, economic accountability, and technological architecture must coexist. CIMSS was created as the vehicle to scale that transformation.

Most Healthcare Technology Projects Fail for One Simple Reason
They begin with software.
Not with patients. Not with pathophysiology. Not with incentive structures. Not with causality.
Technology layered on top of broken workflows, misaligned incentives, and unclear clinical reasoning produces what I call: Digital Garbage.
Salesforce isn’t magic. It’s a multiplier. If the underlying thinking is flawed, the platform magnifies dysfunction. If the underlying thinking is sound, the platform magnifies intelligence.
Why Digital Transformation Fails: The Root Cause Analysis
| What Most Vendors Do | What CIMSS Does |
|---|---|
| Start with software selection | Start with ontological clarity |
| Implement off-the-shelf workflows | Map clinical causality first |
| Focus on features and functions | Design around behavioral unpredictability |
| Measure activity metrics | Measure outcome movement |
| Deploy and move on | Validate in living labs |
Application of Ontology
Ontology asks: What is this system, fundamentally?
Ontology’s about “knowing the world as it is, not as we wish it to be.”
Healthcare isn’t appointments. It isn’t billing codes. It isn’t CRM records.
Healthcare is:
- Human suffering
- Biological systems under stress
- Behavioral unpredictability
- Time-sensitive decision-making
- Economic incentives
- Trust relationships
If we misunderstand what healthcare is, we’ll misbuild the architecture around it.
Every CIMSS engagement begins with ontological clarity.

Technology Is an Instrument—Not the Intelligence
In surgery, instruments extend human capability. They don’t replace judgment.
Salesforce functions the same way.
Health Cloud, Marketing Cloud, Data Cloud, CRM Analytics—these are instruments. The intelligence must precede the implementation.
Clinical reasoning becomes architectural logic:
- Risk stratification → Data segmentation
- Care pathways → Structured care plans
- Escalation criteria → Automated routing
- Behavioral reinforcement → Journey orchestration
- Outcome measurement → Closed-loop dashboards
Medicine gave us disciplined reasoning. CIMSS translates that reasoning into enterprise architecture. Salesforce operationalizes it.
As I’ve said before, “I’m in the business of taking care of people first and foremost. I don’t care if you want to talk about care models as B2B or B2C because it’s all H2H, human-to-human, as far as I’m concerned.”
Translating Clinical Reasoning into System Architecture

In medicine, we’re trained to:
- Identify the presenting problem
- Understand pathophysiology
- Map causal drivers
- Intervene precisely
- Measure response
- Adjust dynamically
I’ve built an Intelligent Operating System using the same model.
At the center is Data Cloud—the digital equivalent of the central nervous system. Around it:
- Engagement systems function like sensory input
- Workflow automation functions like motor response
- Analytics functions like cortical interpretation
- AI models function like predictive reflex arcs
The system behaves like the human body:
Data → Interpretation → Intervention → Feedback → Adaptation
An intelligent organism. Not a static database.
The CIMSS Intelligent Operating System Architecture
| Clinical Function | System Component | Technology Layer |
|---|---|---|
| Sensory Input | Patient engagement | Marketing Cloud, Health Cloud |
| Central Processing | Data interpretation | Data Cloud, Snowflake |
| Integration | System connectivity | MuleSoft |
| Reflex Response | Automated workflows | Einstein, Agentforce |
| Motor Output | Care delivery | Service Cloud, Health Cloud |
| Feedback Loop | Outcome measurement | CRM Analytics, Tableau |
MIMIT Health: A Living Lab
MIMIT Health isn’t theory.
It’s a living laboratory.
We test architecture under real pressure:
- Real patients
- Real revenue
- Real staffing constraints
- Real regulatory boundaries
For example, procedure cancellations aren’t administrative problems. They’re manifestations of:
- Anxiety
- Transportation failure
- Insurance friction
- Clearance delays
- Socioeconomic stress

We map causality first. Then we design predictive models. Then we build interventions. Then we measure outcome movement.
The platform executes clinical logic.
And the results? CIMSS clients report 459% ROI in under 3 months and a 30% increase in care team efficiency. These aren’t vanity metrics. They’re proof that intelligent architecture delivers measurable business value.
Arogya Medical and Advanced Clinical Imaging: Validating the Model Across Domains
These entities allow stress-testing across domains.
Arogya Medical explores:
- Preventive care architecture
- Behavioral reinforcement models
- Subscription-based patient relationships
- Longitudinal health engagement
Advanced Clinical Imaging (ACI) examines:
- High-throughput workflow optimization
- Referral network dynamics
- Authorization latency
- Capital-intensive operational precision
Each entity functions as a physiological subsystem. Together, they validate the operating model.
Protecting Against Digital Garbage
Before automation, we ask:
- Is the process clinically sound?
- Are incentives aligned?
- Are ownership structures clear?
- Are outcome metrics defined?
- Is the workflow biologically and behaviorally realistic?
If the foundation’s flawed, we redesign it. We don’t digitize dysfunction.
CIMSS provides strategic diagnostics first—not just tools, but sustainable structure that supports long-term growth. We worked with MIMIT Health to audit and resolve technical debt, integrate Salesforce Health Cloud with Epic EMR for seamless data flow, and establish unified metadata structure for consistent reporting. This architectural discipline enabled confident, secure scaling across multiple care sites.
The CIMSS Pre-Implementation Framework
Before any technology deployment, CIMSS conducts:

And we deliver ongoing value through high-retention, recurring services. Clients report NPS scores far above healthcare benchmarks because we don’t just implement software—we build operating systems that think like physicians.

The Ultimate Aim: Human Potential
Technology must ultimately serve human need.
At the deepest level, healthcare exists to support:
The human desire to live as long as possible. To live disease-free. To live at the maximum of our biological and intellectual potential.
Every system must serve that end. If it doesn’t extend life, improve quality, reduce suffering, or increase human capacity—it’s noise.
The CIMSS Model: A Framework for Transformation
Here’s how we think:
- Ontology (What Is Real)
- First Principles (Why It Happens)
- Clinical Critical Thinking
- Systems Architecture
- Platform Execution
- Living Lab Validation
- Predictive Intelligence = Intelligent Healthcare Transformation

| Stage | Question Asked | Outcome Delivered |
|---|---|---|
| Ontology | What is this system fundamentally? | Clear problem definition |
| First Principles | Why does this happen? | Causal understanding |
| Clinical Thinking | How do we diagnose this? | Structured reasoning |
| Architecture | How do we design the solution? | Scalable system design |
| Execution | How do we operationalize this? | Live platform deployment |
| Validation | Does this work under pressure? | Proven outcomes |
| Intelligence | Can we predict and adapt? | Self-improving system |
Why This Matters for Your Organization
Most healthcare organizations are drowning in digital garbage. They’ve invested millions in technology that doesn’t talk to itself. They’ve automated broken processes. They’re measuring activity instead of outcomes.
You don’t need more software. You need intelligent architecture.
CIMSS brings clinical ontology to your transformation journey. We start where physicians start—with the patient, the pathophysiology, the causality. Then we build systems that think like your best clinicians.
Whether you’re a small practice or a large health system, the CIMSS approach scales. We don’t give you enterprise complexity when you need focused solutions. We don’t overwhelm your team with features you’ll never use. We build what you need, when you need it, with the intelligence to grow with you. With Salesforce as the platform and a patient-first vision as the compass, CIMSS is building the future of healthcare—one intelligent workflow at a time.

Final Thought
I didn’t leave academic medicine. I expanded its impact.
Instead of publishing ideas, I architect systems. Instead of influencing classrooms, I redesign enterprises.
Salesforce is the execution engine. CIMSS is the architecture. Clinical ontology is the foundation.
And the operating room keeps the thinking honest.
