First Insight Launches Podcast on AI in Healthcare

PORTLAND, Ore., Sept. 17, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- First Insight Corporation has launched a new podcast, The Focal Point, hosted by Nitin Rai, the President and CEO of the company. The podcast aims to explore the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare, with a focus on how AI is transforming the industry.

Rai, who has been working with AI since the 1980s and eye care software since 1994, initiated the podcast after a personal experience. During a routine checkup, he observed a leading glaucoma specialist spending 20 minutes with his back turned, typing. This moment inspired Rai to create EVAA Scribe, a tool that addresses the inefficiencies he witnessed.

Jay Henry, an optometrist and co-owner of Hermann and Henry Eyecare. Henry has been integrating AI into his practice for 18 months and has found it to be a valuable tool. According to Henry, the virtual assistant booked 15 to 20 exams the day it went live, and the staff reports enjoying their jobs again.

Henry emphasizes that the technology works in the background, allowing the practice to function smoothly without the staff recognizing its presence.

Rai plans to tackle the issue of eye care reimbursements that have not kept pace with inflation in the next episode. He encourages anyone questioning something their industry accepts to pitch an episode at maximeyes.com/podcast.

First Insight Corporation, known for its MaximEyes platform, has been focused on eye care software since 1994. The company’s MaximEyesAI, powered by EVAA, is a key component of its comprehensive eye care solution. The launch of The Focal Point podcast underscores the company's commitment to fostering conversations about the future of healthcare and the role of AI in it.
