PLEASANTON, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep 8, 2025--

CharmHealth, a leader in healthcare technology solutions for providers, today announced a new keynote speaker for Charmalot 2025, its annual user conference. Dr. Ranya Habash will take the stage on Saturday, Sept. 20, at 10:45 a.m. to discuss her journey to AI. Dr. Habash will address the largest crowd in Charmalot’s history. This year’s event will take place Sept. 19-21 at the DoubleTree by Hilton in Berkeley, California. It is sponsored by numerous healthcare leaders, including Bluefin, Klaim and VITLrx.

“The response to this year’s Charmalot has been incredible, from speakers to sponsors to Innovation Challenge participants,” said Pramila Srinivasan, Ph.D., CEO of CharmHealth. “We view Charmalot as integral to growing the healthcare ecosystem and raising the standard of care for patients and practitioners. The enthusiasm around Charmalot 2025 is a clear sign that our dedication to this mission is paying off.”

CharmHealth welcomes Dr. Ranya Habash to its speaking lineup alongside Microsoft’s Global Lead - Health and Life Sciences, Microsoft for Startups Sally Ann Frank, who will headline this year’s conference. Dr. Habash is a practicing refractive cataract surgeon and comprehensive ophthalmologist, a voluntary assistant professor of ophthalmology, a digital health serial entrepreneur, and a member of the FDA’s Network of Digital Health Experts. She is well regarded as a leading voice, driving future technology development in healthcare.

Interestingly, Dr. Habash never set out to work in tech, but when faced with the limits of existing tools and the urgent needs of her patients, she realized that technology could enable her to do more.

From creating a secure telemedicine platform used in over 1,500 hospitals to leading AI innovation at Bascom Palmer Eye Institute and partnering with Microsoft on multi-disease retinal algorithms for earlier detection, Dr. Habash has become a bridge between the worlds of clinical practice and cutting-edge technology.

In her keynote, “From the Clinic to the Code: A Clinician’s Journey to AI – and Why Yours Matters Now,” Dr. Habash will share her personal story — complete with lessons learned and pitfalls to avoid.

In addition to an agenda packed full of useful content and inspiring talks, CharmHealth’s 15 Innovation Challenge finalists will present their solutions to a panel of judges in the Pitch Day competition, with the winners receiving cash prizes ($10,000 for first place, $5,000 for second place, and $2,500 for third place). Proposed solutions run the gamut from superior app-based management for pediatric care, weight loss, and women’s health conditions to devices like a non-invasive, remarkably accurate glucose monitor and a VR headset designed for improved mental health. The common thread across finalists’ submissions is the underlying presence of AI.

“The caliber of this year’s pitches has been exceptional. This impressive group is poised to make a profound impact on the future of healthcare,” added Srinivasan. “Among our finalists are two teams from UC Berkeley’s Health Engine accelerator and some of our own users. These examples are another proof point that underscores the value of our connected ecosystem in elevating the future of care.”
