Spotlight: Nanxi Liu @ Blaze.tech

A spotlight is a short-form interview with a leader in health tech. In this spotlight, you'll hear from [Nanxi Liu](https://www.linkedin.com/in/nanxi/), co-founder and co-CEO of [Blaze.tech](https://www.blaze.tech).

## What does Blaze.tech do?

[Blaze](https://www.blaze.tech) is a leading platform for healthcare businesses to build custom HIPAA-compliant software and AI agents. Most operators we meet are juggling five or six tools that don’t talk to each other, or paying for expensive tools that don’t fit how they work. With Blaze, you get a system of record designed around your exact workflows, with agents that take the busywork off your team.

One of the hardest parts of building healthcare apps is connecting to EHRs, payers, and labs. We’ve built those integrations into Blaze, including Stedi for eligibility and claims, so you can create end-to-end workflows all on one platform. Customers usually start with a single workflow and go live in about a week!

## How did you end up working in health tech?

My first company, Nanoly Bioscience, was a biotech startup that developed technology to keep vaccines stable without refrigeration. That was my first exposure to how hard it is to build anything in health. I then started Enplug, an enterprise software company that grew to be a leader in its industry. There, we worked with a lot of compliance-oriented industries. My co-founders and I kept seeing teams rebuild the same security and compliance infrastructure before these companies could ship a single app or automation. We wanted to provide that layer out of the box, so teams can focus on creating workflows and interfaces that are unique to their organization.

Blaze brings those two experiences together. Healthcare teams get the latest AI and agents, with compliance and integrations already handled.

## How does your role intersect with revenue cycle management (RCM)?

RCM companies are a popular customer group for us. On Blaze, they build their own RCM software: client intake and onboarding, eligibility and claims workflows, denial tracking, client-facing reporting portals, and AI agents that handle status checks and follow-ups. Stedi is built into Blaze, so those workflows connect directly to payers without another integration project. As co-CEO, a big part of my job is helping RCM leaders figure out which workflows to automate first and how it drives their revenue.

## What do you think RCM will look like two years from now?

I think the best RCM firms will be the ones that have automated all the repetitive work, with AI agents handling tasks like eligibility checks and claim status follow-ups and allowing staff to work on handling exceptions and negotiating with payers. Getting there means adding fast, reliable connections to payers, which is what Stedi provides, and software that automates the workflows, which is where Blaze comes in.
