Transforming Healthcare Through Innovation
Erik Abel is a strategy-to-execution leader who helps organizations turn innovation into access — aligning clinical workflow, payer policy, product strategy, and commercialization so solutions scale in the real world.
With more than two decades across payer, provider, MedTech, AI, and digital health environments, he connects strategy → product → evidence → workflow → economics to design solutions that are usable, adoptable, reimbursable, and scalable.
He has led AI-SaMD strategy; shaped diagnostic and clinical service platforms; advanced CDS and interoperability; and built operating models that enable adoption across health systems, payers, ACOs, and value-based care entities. His work consistently focuses on translating evidence, technology, and operational constraints into models that create measurable value across the healthcare ecosystem.
Erik has authored over 40 peer-reviewed publications, delivered 30+ national presentations, and serves as a cross-sector advisor to innovators building solutions at the intersection of clinical medicine, technology, economics, and policy.
