Synapse Health Names Mandira Singh President

SKOKIE, Illinois—Synapse Health, a provider that aims to advance the durable medical equipment (DME) industry toward value-based care, announced the appointment of Mandira Singh as president. Singh, who first joined Synapse in August as a senior advisor, now joins an expanding executive team that is committed to modernizing the DME ecosystem to better serve patients, prescribers and DME provider partners.

“Mandira has a real talent for building tech products that integrate seamlessly with services to foster collaboration and provide improved experiences for stakeholders throughout the health care ecosystem,” said Cory Roberts, co-founder and chief executive officer of Synapse Health. “Her rare skill set and proven success growing health tech companies into industry leaders is a boon to our work as we invest in AI and other emerging tech to drive efficiency for the benefit of all in the DME space.”

Singh brings a passion for results-driven innovation to Synapse, with a career spent helping businesses align incentives to improve clinical care and drive operational improvements through tech-forward solutions. She previously served as senior partner and chief platform officer at Habitat Health, launching the business, a joint venture with Kaiser Permanente in PACE, focused on elder care and vulnerable patients. Before that, she was head of product and chief operating officer of Collective Medical; upon its acquisition by PointClickCare, she was named senior vice president and general manager for the acute and payer business. In this role, Singh focused on driving growth for more than 1,000 hospitals and every national health plan in the U.S.

Singh also was executive director at athenahealth, where she launched its marketplace and API-driven platform, delivering the first 200+ innovative apps to clients. Singh earned her MBA from the Stanford Graduate School of Business and earned her bachelor’s degree in economics from Vassar College.

“I’m grateful to help lead Synapse Health as we embark on a multi-phase expansion with payers, prescribers and DME provider partners who are excited to collaborate and bring forth an optimized DME experience that better serves patients,” Singh said. “We’re working to elevate the role of suppliers and share our tech-enabled solutions to ensure a better and more seamless journey from the point of order to delivery. I’m thrilled to be a part of a change-minded team that is just as passionate as I am about finding ways to iteratively improve market conditions, reduce administrative burdens and keep patients at the center of health care.”
