Eddie Qureshi
Founder & CEO, Rainfall Health
Eddie Qureshi is founder and CEO of Rainfall Health, an AI platform that helps hospitals manage Medicare’s TEAM model, including care coordination across the 30 days after surgery. He started building the company as a University of Washington undergraduate. It launched as Valorant Health with a focus on rural access, working with Indigenous communities and veteran groups, and rebranded as Rainfall in 2024.
His path into healthcare is a family one. His grandmother was one of the first female physicians in Pakistan, and his mother practices medicine in rural Arkansas.
On Open Door Salon, alongside Paul Uhrig, he described narrowing Rainfall Health to one Medicare model years before it took effect, explained why only two or three priorities ever reach a health system executive’s agenda, and described an AI care coordinator that answers patients in their own language and escalates to clinicians when a case needs a human.
