SAN DIEGO (April 2, 2018)—ResMed announced the hire of its first chief technology officer (CTO), Bobby Ghoshal.

As CTO, Ghoshal will lead ResMed’s global health care informatics and data analytics team to drive its cloud-based digital health platforms, as well as investments in emerging health technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning.

Ghoshal has more than 25 years’ experience in information technology, semiconductor innovation, digital strategy, information security, advanced analytics, operations and customer care. Since 2016, Ghoshal has been chief operating officer at Brightree, a ResMed-owned provider of cloud-based software-as-a-service (SaaS) for out-of-hospital care. From 2012 to 2016, he was vice president of information technology at ResMed. Previously, Ghoshal worked in a number of management and technical roles in the semiconductor and financial industries.

“Bobby has played several key roles in ResMed’s emergence as a connected health company this past decade, and we’re excited to appoint him as our new CTO,” said ResMed CEO Mick Farrell. “I have worked with Bobby for many years, and he has incredible energy, integrity, intelligence and an always-learning attitude that will guide ResMed’s emerging competence in artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep neural networks and other data analytics technologies to change the lives of millions more patients.”

“I’m excited to lead ResMed’s health care informatics team to help drive the value of connected health, leveraging the power of technology and data for the hundreds of millions of people who suffer from sleep apnea, COPD and related chronic diseases worldwide,” said Ghoshal.

ResMed’s health care informatics team had been led by Raj Sodhi, current president of ResMed’s software-as-a-service businesses, pioneering out-of-hospital software growth globally.

“I’m excited for Bobby’s return to the ResMed team,” Sodhi said. “With Bobby as CTO, I can be fully focused on expanding the capabilities of ResMed’s SaaS solutions for out-of-hospital care, while Bobby leads the next level of tech innovation, investments and partnerships that will take our digital health capabilities to new frontiers, for the ultimate benefit of patients, physicians, providers and payers.”
