IKS Health Snaps Up Team at NYC-Based ThinkDTM

ThinkDTM founder Tij Bedi and his team will help lead the strategic expansion, scaling, and transformation of the IKS Health patient access suite of solutions, including patient scheduling, registration, demographic capture, insurance eligibility verification, and prior authorizations, IKS Health said.

IKS Health, which offers AI-powered care enablement solutions to support healthcare clinicians, staff, and patients, has announced an “acquihire” of New York City-based ThinkDTM, an AI-native product, strategy, and digital services company, including ThinkDTM Founder Tij Bedi.

Acquihire is a term for acquiring a company with the goal of taking on its employees, rather than its products, services, or intellectual property.

IKS Health—which is based in Mumbai, India, with U.S. headquarters in Dallas—said Bedi will assume the role of EVP and GM of patient access and innovation, and his established team of AI technology experts will become a part of IKS Health.

“Tij and his team are critical additions to our growing team of AI engineers and experts, particularly as we lean into the world of agentic AI and its role in our continued growth and scale in revenue optimization and beyond,” Sachin K. Gupta, founder and global CEO of IKS Health, said in a statement. “We’re thrilled to have Tij’s leadership as we remain focused on solving complex challenges across healthcare with AI and human-in-the-loop expertise capabilities.”

Bedi and his team will help lead the strategic expansion, scaling, and transformation of the IKS Health patient access suite of solutions, including patient scheduling, registration, demographic capture, insurance eligibility verification, and prior authorizations.

The newly expanded team will concentrate on developing and scaling unique patient access solutions, bolstering platform capabilities, and advancing next-gen innovation that improves outcomes for healthcare providers and patients, IKS Health said. In addition, Bedi will guide strategic partnerships that leverage innovative use of technology to create new opportunities in the market.

“As healthcare continues to be disrupted, joining IKS Health is a tremendous opportunity to intelligently implement AI in ways that make patients’ lives easier,” Bedi said. “An engineer by education and a problem solver by inclination, I’m excited for me and my team to be a part of such a robust health-tech organization during a time of rapid industry change.”

IKS Health said it reduces the administrative, clinical, and operational challenges that slow healthcare down, helping clinicians and care teams focus on providing exceptional care.
