Embold Health, Microsoft and Walmart, Inc. Executives Discuss ‘Revolutionizing Employee Benefits through AI-Powered Quality Navigation’ at Business Group on Health 2025 Annual Conference

‍

Embold Health, a healthcare technology company, presented Revolutionizing Employee Benefits through AI-Powered Quality Navigation: A Conversation with Microsoft and Walmart at the 2025 Business Group on Health Annual Conference on April 23^rd. The panel featured Daniel Stein, MD, Founder and CEO of Embold Health, Colleen Daly, PhD, Director, Occupational Health, Safety and Research at Microsoft, and Lisa Woods, Vice President, Physical and Emotional Well-being of Walmart Inc.  

While provider cost and quality data has historically been widely available, the format in how it’s delivered to employees does not easily lend itself to informed healthcare decisions. This is where a new generation of AI-powered solutions— combined with physician rating analytics — can make a real impact.   

The Business Group on Health panel discussed how Microsoft and Walmart each identified a lack of engagement in their own benefits management and proactively partnered with Embold Health to create an effective, accessible program built around AI-powered navigation solutions.

The presentation included impactful and insightful results from Embold, Microsoft, and Walmart on:

• How members gained streamlined access to the right care with personalized, AI-powered recommendations.  

• How Microsoft and Walmart leveraged new applications to increase the level of member utilization in their respective benefits programs.

• How AI-applications were clinically validated to ensure reliability and ethical AI compliance.  

• How actionable solutions and innovative partnerships can help create real change for your employees.
   

As healthcare costs continue to rise, improving member health has never been more critical. Especially for major employers like Walmart and Microsoft, collaborations with technology partners like Embold pave the way for more efficient, personalized and cost-effective care. By leveraging AI for an intuitive, personalized navigation experience, members are guided to the right providers — those who deliver high-quality, evidence-based care — driving better outcomes and lower costs across the board.
