With a background in healthcare, Richie is distinctly poised to bring this exciting new technology to the world. Described as a "true healthcare disruptor," FreeHealth.ai aims to be the first A.I. medical platform app or as Richie describes it, "the first personal health care companion to bring intelligence in the palm of their hand." e platform, which integrates and uses diagnostics, genomics, data from wearables, and electronic health records, seamlessly compiles your health information to be used "as a daily tool that you can ask questions of and get guidance based off of your own personal data." Richie describes our current broken healthcare system as reactive and sees this new technology he is creating as an exciting and proactive opportunity to "save a lot of lives." While his work on FreeHealth.ai (set to launch a base version by summer 2026) looks towards the future, Richie easily recalls all of the hard work he has put in to become who he is today. "Your life is only your responsibility and if you take that down into your soul[...]it's one of the most important things everyday you can impact and bring value into your own life," he shares. Richie's star began to shine in high school as he juggled football and good grades, and continued to rise as he became a four-year starter for St. John's University football team. e important lessons he acquired during his college years have carried through into his career. "Leadership is about standards, preparation, and consistency, not titles," he states and Richie's dedication to serving as an exemplary leader is evident in all he has accomplished. Counted among his proudest achievements is the creation of his high school's Rich Hosein Athletic Scholarship, awarded to a "leader who shows leadership skills on and off the fields." In a world that has "a leadership problem right now," Richie believes that "it has to start at home" and there is no finer place for him to see this come to fruition than at his high school alma mater.
