Mathieu Rihet

Applied mathematician, health-tech builder, and medical interpreter

I have been working on a series of healthcare projects, research initiatives, and leadership roles focused on the intersection of mathematics, medicine, and technology.

Building the future of healthcare automation

I'm a founder of Novoflow (YC X25), building AI employees that automate 99% of manual work in medical clinics. We've raised $1M+ in funding and are transforming how healthcare practices operate by eliminating repetitive administrative tasks and allowing medical professionals to focus on patient care.

Education

I pursued a B.S. of Applied Mathematics at Emory University and a B.S.E in Biomedical Engineering at Georgia Tech before taking a leave of absence to build Novoflow. Courses I took in mathematics at the highest level include Applied Partial Differential Equations and Numerical Analysis.

Research

My research specialized in non-linear optimization and transforming ill-posed CT scans into 3D problems. I conducted research on inverse problems in medical imaging, reconstructing 3D anatomical structures from incomplete scan data using optimization techniques.

I was Director of Operations at e-NABLE Foundation in Brussels, Belgium, where I built neural network code on Keras for 3D-printed prosthetic devices.

Healthcare experience

Currently working as a board-certified Spanish Medical Interpreter, where I bridge language barriers in acute care settings. I earned my ALTA certification and collaborate daily with nurses and physicians.

In my free time, I enjoy analyzing healthcare bonds, pitching JnJ & Welltower bonds and understanding the financial infrastructure that supports medical institutions.

Medical writing

I published medical reviews in collaboration with Harvard and Emory University faculty, contributing to academic research and medical literature.

Press

I've written about healthcare AI and automation for various publications:

Forbes - "AI And Healthcare Operations: 5 Trends To Watch"

Emory Undergraduate Medical Review - Various medical publications and research articles

Side projects

Apollo - Scholarship search engine for Europe

QX - To find anyone in the world

Volunteering

I led a harm-reduction campaign that supplied 500+ Narcan doses worth $30K to the Georgia community. I volunteered at the Hope Lodge, Bethesda Clinic, GoodSam, and Grace Village, and organized the Stand for the Kids run at Emory.
