DENVER, May 24, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Denver-based healthtech leader Eon announced today the appointment of Kevin Hutchinson and Dan Rieber to the Eon Board of Directors. Mr. Hutchinson and Mr. Rieber join current board members founder and co-CEO, Dr. Aki Alzubaidi, co-CEO Christine Spraker, and investment growth partner Ryan Anderson.

"We are thrilled to welcome Kevin and Dan to Eon's Board of Directors," said Dr. Alzubaidi. "The depth of knowledge and experience that both bring to Eon will be invaluable as we work to make patients healthier and healthcare affordable. We are fortunate to add such high caliber industry leaders to help us achieve our goals."

Eon, founded in 2015, uses symbolic artificial intelligence to change the outcome for patients with findings that could potentially be catastrophic.

"Eon is causing a fundamental shift in the way hospitals and care teams track patients with incidental findings that usually go unfollowed," commented Mr. Hutchinson. "By combining computational linguistics with machine learning, Eon extracts highly pertinent clinical findings from unstructured text in radiology reports with extreme accuracy. I'm excited to join Eon at a time when they have demonstrated exponential customer and financial growth. With recent new funding, Eon can support and expand on that growth significantly."

Mr. Rieber further commented, "Eon is a chosen vendor of UCHealth and we invested in Eon because we are excited about the possibility of what Eon's innovative technology may provide for our patients." And regarding the new board appointment, Mr. Riber stated, "I look forward to working with the board to strengthen Eon's position and to bring my experience and expertise as the CFO of a large health system to the Eon team."
