Aron Szanto joins Redesign Health as Head of Technology, Accelerating AI-Driven Healthcare Innovation

Engineering the Future of Healthcare

In his role as Head of Technology, Aron will drive innovation across the worldwide healthcare ecosystem, leveraging Redesign Health's unique data platform and extensive global network. He and his team will collaborate closely with founders and portfolio companies to advance their AI and technology strategies, empowering them with technical resources and strategic partnerships to build AI-native healthcare ventures around the world.

A Track Record of Technical Excellence

Aron joins us from OccamzRazor, where, as Chief Technology Officer, he headed technology and AI initiatives powering the world's largest clinical trial in Parkinson's Disease. Prior to that, he built AI product portfolios at PathAI and Kensho worth over $1 billion—solutions that continue to shape the workflows of hundreds of thousands of experts in fields spanning cancer diagnostics and monetary policy.

A noted researcher and engineer, Aron has authored dozens of widely-cited publications, patents, and open-source projects in areas such as language models, pandemic response, misinformation detection, and neurological medication effects. He has also held research and teaching positions at Harvard University, where he previously studied computational economics and mathematical philosophy, graduating with highest honors.

Building the Future of Healthcare Technology

Aron’s appointment comes at a critical time in healthcare, as AI unlocks new ways to enhance and scale patient care. “We're delighted to welcome Aron to the team as healthcare enters a new era of AI-enabled innovation," says Brett Shaheen, Redesign Health’s CEO and founder. "With his deep expertise in AI and history of leading outstanding technology organizations, Aron will catalyze our ability to forge high-impact healthcare solutions, back visionary founders, and launch next-generation companies that revolutionize patient care worldwide."

Under Aron's leadership, Redesign Health will double down on its mission of empowering founders to transform healthcare in service of patients—harnessing advanced technology to solve the industry's most critical challenges. His appointment coincides with the close of Redesign’s recent $175 million venture fund, a milestone that underscores our commitment to driving AI-driven breakthroughs in healthcare. 

"Redesign Health's venture building model and unparalleled data advantage present an extraordinary opportunity to drive unprecedented healthcare improvements through technology,” Aron shared. “For the first time in history, there is a line of sight to being able to provide world-class care to every person on the planet. I’m so excited to join this exceptional team because I believe there’s no more promising place to realize that vision.”
