NEW YORK, May 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ --The winners of Fast Company's 2021 World Changing Ideas Awards were announced today, honoring the businesses, policies, projects, and concepts that are actively engaged and deeply committed to pursuing innovation when it comes to solving health and climate crises, social injustice, or economic inequality.

Health at Scale, a machine intelligence company that uses proprietary advances in artificial intelligence and machine learning to match individuals to the next best action in real time, was recognizedin the AI and Data Category for its Precision Navigation platform. Founded by machine learning and clinical faculty from MIT, Harvard, Stanford, and the University of Michigan, the company's mission is to bring precision delivery to health care, using tens of thousands of health variables from over a hundred million lives to generate personalized and precise guidance for individual patients seeking care providers. Health at Scale's Precision Navigation looks at providers in a hyper-personalized, outcomes-based way, providing each individual with a personalized rating of providers in the geography where they want to receive care.

"We're honored to be included in this year's World Changing Ideas showcase," said Health at Scale CEO and Founder Zeeshan Syed. "Health care today is imprecise and impersonal, which makes care inefficient, less effective, and more costly. Our Precision Navigation technology looks to change this, using machine intelligence to accurately match patients to physicians, facilities and care settings likely to produce optimal outcomes for them individually. We're thankful for Fast Company highlighting our work so we can continue to change health care, focusing on personalization, not generalization."
