“We are extremely pleased to add Robert to the company’s executive team,” said Brian M. Overstreet, President & CEO of Arbital Health. “He is a proven leader and technology visionary who is passionate about making a difference through delivering better healthcare. Robert has the experience and track record to build an exceptional engineering team and execute our product roadmap.”
Stewart possesses an extensive skill set in healthcare information technology (HIT), technical recruiting, and data science. He comes to Arbital from apree health (formerly Castlight Health) where he served in various positions over thirteen years including CTO, Chief Architect, and VP, Engineering.
He is an innovator in the field having led the engineering teams that built Castlight Action, the first-in-the-industry healthcare personalization engine to use claims and demographics data, surveys, and application activity data to identify and predict medical conditions for individuals and then deliver timely, meaningful, personalized recommendations.
“My goal at Arbital is to continue building the Arbital Health Adjudication Platform to establish the neutral third-party platform for value-based care contract adjudication. I’ve seen in my prior roles how difficult it is to properly design and adjudicate value-based care contracts. I believe that what we are building at Arbital Health will become a critical part of ensuring the success of the U.S. healthcare system,” Stewart said.
Some of the immediate key initiatives Stewart will lead at Arbital include the next product release focused on interim-adjudication for Medicare Advantage full-risk value-based care contracts. The launch of this product feature enables providers to assess contract performance on a monthly or quarterly basis, providing the insights required to optimize their value-based care strategies immediately resulting in major financial savings and improved outcomes.
Stewart served in a variety of technical positions with Avaya, Lucent, Voxify, Mosaix, and ViewStar. He earned a degree in Physics at Rice University and studied Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Texas at Austin.
