UniHealth Times

I grew up in China, and when I was 11, we moved to Vancouver, Canada. Throughout high school, I was laser-focused on medicine. I wanted it so badly that two of my childhood best friends followed the same path—one became a doctor, another became a nurse. Then I got into UC Berkeley as an international student. This is the story of how I went from wanting to be a doctor to building AI for healthcare.

When I first started building UniHealth, I thought Medicare enrollment would be straightforward. Build a database of plans, create some filters, add a comparison tool. Done. I was wrong. After years of building, I've learned something fundamental: Traditional software cannot solve Medicare enrollment. Only AI agents can. Here's why.
