Profile: https://flows.cv/cathycai

I’m a product manager who finds joy in the intersection of technological execution and business strategy. My journey has been fueled by an insatiable curiosity about how we can harness AI to create solutions that genuinely improve lives. I’ve had the privilege of developing two innovative products from scratch: Haven.AI—a chatbot designed to support emotional wellness—and Perio.AI—an advanced diagnostic tool for periodontal disease classification.

At Haven AI, I crafted a comprehensive product vision for our healthtech AI chatbot focused on vaping cessation. This involved establishing a 5-phase roadmap for future initiatives aimed at addiction reduction. It’s rewarding to see how these strategies can lead to tangible improvements in people's lives.

With Perio.AI, I spearheaded the product strategy for an AI-powered diagnostic platform that enhanced periodontal disease classification accuracy by 30%. This improvement not only elevated patient outcomes but also transformed clinical decision-making processes. Collaborating with cross-functional teams has been key to our success; it’s amazing what we can achieve when diverse minds come together.

Before diving into product management, I honed my analytical skills as a Senior Analyst at Wilshire and gained valuable insights during my internships at ByteDance. Each experience has shaped my understanding of market needs and user behavior—insights I carry into every project.

Outside of work, I’m always exploring new technologies and trends in healthtech. Whether it’s attending industry conferences or engaging with online communities like Product Manger Institution, I love staying connected with like-minded individuals who share my passion for innovation.
