1. AI Healthcare Push: FTI Hires, GeneDx Revenues, Residency Program Emerges

Three developments point to accelerating AI adoption in healthcare from advisory to startups.

FTI Consulting expanded its Australian Health and Human Services practice on April 22, appointing Kerrie Young to lead Data Analytics & AI alongside Managing Directors James Baulch and Cameron Cuthbert, with a remit to scale digital health, data-led care and applied AI across clinical, operational and administrative workflows as the system faces demand, workforce and funding pressures.

On the capital side, Simply Wall Street spotlights GeneDx, an AI-driven genomics player generating US$427.

5 million in revenue, mostly from its core Gene Dx segment, while navigating unprofitability, external funding needs and recent deals including a Zevra NPC testing program and a new term loan.

Meanwhile, Endpoints News reports Esther Wojcicki is helping launch an AI healthcare residency aimed at better co-founder dynamics.

Together, these moves reflect a push to operationalize AI: advisory depth, financing pathways and founder training are aligning to tackle cost, access and precision challenges.

Key facts:

- April 22, 2026: FTI Consulting hired three senior leaders for Australia Health and Human Services.

- GeneDx reported US$427.5m revenue; US$423.1m from Gene Dx segment; US$4.5m other.

- Esther Wojcicki is helping launch an AI healthcare residency for startup co-founders.

Why it matters: Execution capacity, capital, and founder support are converging around AI in care delivery. Health systems may gain cost control and throughput from analytics-driven procurement and clinical decision support; AI genomics gains investor attention but must prove reimbursement and funding durability; founders may reduce team failure risk. Laggards risk margin compression as benchmarks reset. Watch FTI’s embedding of AI in workflows, GeneDx’s reimbursement and financing runway, and concrete residency structure, partners and outcomes.
