Cedars Sinai

What Cedars Sinai does

Cedars-Sinai is a nonprofit academic medical center founded in 1902 and headquartered in Los Angeles, California, with more than 10,000 employees. The organization provides comprehensive healthcare services through its hospital, outpatient clinics, and AI-enabled virtual care platforms (including the Cedars-Sinai Connect app, in market since 2018 and used by 42,000+ patients), and serves as a clinical research and education institution via Cedars-Sinai Health Sciences University.

Its core technology stack is centered on an integrated AI ecosystem layered on top of the electronic health record: OpenEvidence enterprise for AI-powered clinical decision support, OpenAI ChatGPT for Healthcare for chart summarization and documentation, Regard for AI documentation, and EchoPrime — a proprietary video-based AI trained on over 12 million echocardiogram videos from 108,913 patients — for cardiology reporting. Adjacent capabilities include voice-enabled AI nurse documentation, continuous glucose monitor data integration, VR-based CBT therapy (XAIA), and robotic delivery via Moxi.

The business model is a fee-for-service and contract-based nonprofit health system that bills insurers, Medicare/Medicaid, and self-pay patients for clinical services, supplemented by grants (e.g., $5.3M Wellcome Trust), charitable financing schemes, and capital deployment through corporate venture investments. Go-to-market is hybrid: direct-to-consumer virtual care, enterprise AI and partnership deployments to other health systems (e.g., OpenAI's systemwide rollout to Cedars-Sinai among others), academic co-development (Caltech, Weizmann Institute), international clinical presence (Dubai via OMICS Precision Health), and high-profile event positioning (LA28 Olympic Games medical provider).
