Eden aims to transform the healthcare sector by making it more patient-cantered and efficient through automating workflows worth billions of dollars.
Inspired by the overwork of healthcare professionals, two students from Northeastern University, Naomi Rajput and Evan Smith, founded Eden, previously known as CareWallet.
Eden is an AI-powered healthcare software, which helps to automate several processes, such as scheduling, insurance verification, and patient check-ins. By lowering administrative burdens, the software seeks to improve patient satisfaction and reduce stress on healthcare staff.

“In an ideal situation, [the front desk] has minimal patient interaction, [they are not] answering 10 billion phone calls while also trying to check in patients. Ideally [they] can focus on one thing, checking the patient who is in front of them,” says Rajput.
Rajput and Smith’s creative solution has the potential to completely transform the healthcare sector by making it more accessible and efficient for patients and providers.
Rajput also received the Northeastern Women Who Empower Innovator Award for her dedication to reducing burnout in healthcare.

Eden’s fast-paced growth is demonstrated by the recent hiring of a co-op student, Tamhid Washy, who is assisting in the development of Eden’s technology. Rajput, a fourth-year student, and Smith, a former student who is currently on leave to pursue his startup, share a vision of a healthcare system that prioritizes patient care. They believe that by automating routine tasks, healthcare providers can devote more time to patient interaction, thereby, improving overall care quality. According to Smith, “There is the potential to automate $950 billion worth of workflows.” Eden aims to transform the healthcare sector by making it more patient-cantered and efficient through automating workflows worth billions of dollars.
