Chris Halsema is founder and CEO of nuiloa and has more than 20 years of experience envisioning and creating integrated solutions in healthcare, fintech, ERP, private cloud, and software development. He’s known for his work and contributions to the creation of Application Service Providers (now known as Clouds) in the ‘80s and ‘90s, working alongside notable companies like IBM and Citrix, and his leadership in the role of CEO of PrudentConnect, which grew to become one of the first cloud ERP and CRM providers. In 2008, he pivoted his focus from enterprise companies to healthcare with the goal of empowering patient-centric healthcare solutions. After seeing the difficulties and costs associated with implementing communication tools, Chris became passionate about working with healthcare institutions to provide the highest level of care and streamline the flow of engagement between patients and their providers. In 2020 he launched nuiloa (pronounced noo-ee loh-wah), a scalable patient outreach vendor and web app with AI capabilities redefining SMS and voice communications. Patient Service Rep and a conversational AI solution, nuiloa is designed to improve support across a patient’s journey, driving connection and greater outcomes. Chris currently resides in Las Vegas, Nevada.
We’re only just beginning to learn how to harness the power of AI in ways that cultivate stronger healthcare systems — and ensure that the value of connection akin to the human condition is not lost but rather nurtured in its use among healthcare providers.
