This episode of the ShiftShapers podcast features an interview with Yoona Kim, the CEO and co-founder of Arine, a company focusing on medication intelligence via AI to improve clinical and financial outcomes in health care. In this episode, Kim shares insights from a health care background into the challenges surrounding drug prescriptions including accessibility, cost, and the impact of incorrect or suboptimal medication on patient outcomes.

Arine leverages large-scale data analysis to provide actionable recommendations, aiming to correct discrepancies in medication use, particularly in polypharmacy (multiple medication) cases.
