Bunkerhill Health Wins Newsweek AI Impact Award for Best Health Equity Outcomes

SAN FRANCISCO, CA — June 18, 2025 — Bunkerhill Health has been named one of only five healthcare companies nationwide to receive an inaugural Newsweek AI Impact Award, earning top recognition in the “Healthcare AI: Best Outcomes, Health Equity” category.

The Newsweek AI Impact Awards honor AI solutions that deliver measurable, real-world impact. Winners were selected by an expert panel of judges led by Marcus Weldon, Newsweek Contributing Editor for AI and President Emeritus of Bell Labs.

Powering more proactive, equitable care

Bunkerhill’s Carebricks platform uses FDA-cleared AI algorithms and advanced natural language processing to analyze patient data, uncover overlooked risks, determine appropriate next steps, and automate actions that connect patients to timely care. By integrating directly with each health system’s existing EHR and workflows, Carebricks helps close critical care gaps without adding administrative burden.

This ability to automatically surface risks and coordinate follow-up is just the beginning. Health systems also rely on Carebricks to identify candidates for clinical trials or new treatments, catch missed tests or referrals, and monitor changes in patient risk over time. These capabilities illustrate just part of what Bunkerhill’s solutions can deliver, with many more applications ready for health systems to implement.

Proven impact at scale

Across health systems nationwide, Carebricks has delivered clear and measurable results. The platform has surfaced tens of thousands of patients with significant but previously overlooked health risks, enabling earlier intervention and more consistent follow-up. By automating chart reviews, care eligibility checks, and patient and provider outreach, Carebricks reduces manual work and helps organizations manage higher volumes of patients without adding staff.

This efficiency translates directly to better outcomes for patients and a strong return on investment for health systems. Care teams can prioritize patients who truly need care, avoid unnecessary visits and redundant testing, and reduce the risk of costly complications that result from missed or delayed diagnoses. As a result, hospitals and health systems are seeing improved care quality scores, stronger patient trust, and meaningful operational savings — all while expanding access to proactive, equitable care.

Bunkerhill’s solutions continue to demonstrate high accuracy and reliability in both FDA validation studies and daily use, giving health systems confidence that the platform can be trusted to support decisions in complex clinical environments.

Raising the bar for AI-driven patient care

“We are honored to be recognized by Newsweek for building AI that goes beyond analysis to ensure patients receive the care they need, automatically and at scale,” said Nishith Khandwala, CEO and Co-Founder of Bunkerhill Health. “Our vision is to help every health system deliver this level of proactive, equitable care for every patient.”

Bunkerhill will join fellow awardees at the Newsweek AI Impact Summit, taking place June 23–25 in Sonoma, California.
