Kaia Health appoints Lumeris co-founder Nigel Ohrenstein as president

Digital therapeutics company Kaia Health has appointed Nigel Ohrenstein, healthcare entrepreneur and Lumeris co-founder, as president.

The company delivers musculoskeletal (MSK) care using computer vision technology through the camera of a smartphone, anytime, anywhere.

Ohrenstein brings more than 20 years of experience dedicated to transforming the healthcare system by delivering solutions that reduce the cost of care, improve the quality of care, and enhance the patient experience.

As co-founder of Lumeris, Ohrenstein helped build Lumeris into the leading value-based care company. 

Ohrenstein said: “Kaia Health is an exceptional, mission-driven company that is transforming healthcare by furthering access to affordable high-quality care.

“I am delighted to join an incredible team that is solving four of healthcare’s largest challenges: access, quality, affordability, and health equity.” 

Konstantin Mehl, Kaia health founder and CEO said Kaia Health’s solution solves one of the primary issues in healthcare, namely access to care. Kaia Health recently extended access further to those who need in-home physical therapy by partnering with Luna On-Demand Physical Therapy. 

Mehl said: “Nigel’s combination of business intelligence and dedication to improving both the quality and cost of care will accelerate Kaia Health’s next phase of growth, further our lead in the MSK market, and advance our mission to make effective therapies accessible to patients anywhere and at any time.”

Earlier this year, Kaia Health sealed a $75 million Series C round to expand clinical capabilities, heavily invest in computer vision technology, and transform digital therapies in the U.S. and Europe.
