MediKarma Aligns with CMS National Preventive Health Strategy Through AI-Driven, Prevention-First Implementation Infrastructure

SAN FRANCISCO, May 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- MediKarma, a digital health company specializing in AI-powered preventive care, today announced its formal alignment with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Innovation Center's newly launched strategy to "Make America Healthy Again." In support of this national initiative, MediKarma has mobilized an implementation team to assist public and private stakeholders in advancing prevention-first care models rooted in data, engagement and personalized intervention.

Unveiled on May 13, 2025, and reinforced through congressional testimony by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on May 14, the CMS strategy signals a transformative shift in U.S. healthcare delivery—from reactive treatment to proactive, prevention-oriented models. The framework emphasizes personalized data access, real-time engagement, and scalable solutions that empower individuals to actively manage their health. These priorities reflect a growing consensus that long-term sustainability in healthcare will depend on delivering preventive care that is not only clinically effective but also contextually relevant to each person's daily life.

In direct alignment with this vision, MediKarma is deploying its personalized Contextual AI wellness platform. The platform guides users on exercise, nutrition, stress management, sleep and medication adherence by integrating and applying personalized, real-time clinical, biometric, and lifestyle data. MediKarma also incorporates insights from ongoing consumer interaction with the app, delivering continuously personalized guidance. Each person's health plan is dynamically shaped by Contextual AI, which interprets the behavioral patterns, lifestyle choices and engagement signals unique to each user. This ensures that guidance is not only personalized but deeply relevant to each individual's real-world context.

Strategic Readiness to Advance Federal Priorities

The CMS Innovation Center has emphasized the critical need for tools that enable individuals to understand their health status, set meaningful goals with providers and reduce out-of-pocket costs through informed self-management. MediKarma meets these imperatives by delivering a unified, AI-powered platform that supports behavior change in core areas including physical activity, nutrition, medication adherence, stress management, and sleep hygiene.

Executive Statement

"We commend CMS for placing prevention and individual empowerment at the center of the national healthcare agenda," said Kris Narayan, Chief Executive Officer of MediKarma. "This strategy represents a long-awaited pivot toward systemic transformation, and MediKarma is honored to contribute actionable tools and implementation capacity to support its execution."

Narayan continued, "True preventive care requires data integration, behavioral insight, and daily relevance to individuals' lives. Our platform was designed to close the gap between policy intent and everyday health decisions—and we are prepared to bring that capability to scale."

Supporting Scalable and Sustainable Reform

As CMS initiates new models that test beneficiary incentives tied to prevention and engagement, MediKarma offers a scalable, affordable and adaptable system that can serve as the behavioral and analytics engine behind those efforts.

MediKarma is deployed across provider, payer and employer health ecosystems, helping to reduce risk exposure, enhance member engagement, and promote measurable improvements in chronic disease prevention and management. As national reform efforts evolve, the platform is positioned to function as a foundational layer supporting both government-led and market-driven transformation.
