The AI Power Move You Didn’t See Coming

Hims & Hers just pulled off the most unexpected tech hire of the year – and it’s about to supercharge their AI healthcare revolution. The telehealth giant just recruited Mo Elshenawy, former president and CTO of Cruise’s self-driving division, as their new Chief Technology Officer.

“I hunted down autonomous vehicle leaders because they’ve mastered AI in life-or-death situations. That’s exactly what healthcare demands.”

Andrew Dudum, Hims & Hers CEO

Why AV Experts = Healthcare Game Changers

This isn’t just another corporate shuffle – it’s a strategic masterstroke. Here’s why stealing talent from the autonomous vehicle space gives Hims & Hers an unfair advantage:

• Battle-tested AI: AV systems make 1,000+ critical decisions per second with human lives at stake
• Regulation ninjas: Navigating FDA approvals is child’s play compared to AV safety certifications
• Trust architects: If you can get people to trust robotaxis, healthcare AI is easy mode

The AI Healthcare Revolution is Here

Hims & Hers isn’t playing around. With Elshenawy at the tech helm, they’re turbocharging:

• MedMatch 2.0: Their AI treatment recommender already handles 15,000+ patients daily
• Doctor superpowers: AI that shows its work, making physicians 3x more efficient
• Million-patient dataset: The largest anonymized healthcare database in DTC medicine

“Healthcare AI isn’t about replacing doctors – it’s about giving them X-ray vision into treatment options.”

The Future of AI-Powered Healthcare

With former Amazon exec Nader Kabbani joining as COO and Elshenawy leading tech, Hims & Hers is assembling an Avengers-level team to dominate telehealth. Their playbook?

1. Take AV-grade AI safety standards
2. Apply to high-stakes healthcare decisions
3. Keep doctors firmly in the loop
4. Scale to millions of patients

Bottom line: When your AI comes from the school of self-driving cars, patient care enters the fast lane.
