About Christopher Jones

I love data, and I love building things.My career has been at the intersection of science, data, and technology. I started in the military, went through academia, and now I am a founder. With a PhD from Caltech and a background in analytics, quantitative modeling, and AI, I focus on solving complex problems with precision and speed.As Co-Founder and CTO of Clinivise, I am building the intelligence layer for behavioral health. We process large volumes of unstructured payor and clinical data to model payor behavior, benchmark reimbursement rates, and bring transparency to one of the most opaque areas of healthcare. The goal is simple: use data to predict, explain, and improve how care is financed and delivered.At Clinivise, we are building:• Analytics that model payor behavior and forecast reimbursement patterns• Tools that reveal gaps, inefficiencies, and opportunities in care delivery• Infrastructure that helps providers reduce risk and scale faster• AI models that transform fragmented healthcare data into clarityWe are starting with behavioral health, where lack of transparency creates major barriers to access. Fixing this is both an economic and a human problem. Every dataset we unlock is another step toward smarter, more equitable care.I am always interested in connecting with healthcare leaders, data scientists, and anyone building systems that matter.

1. Co-founder and CTO

   Clinivise

   Dec 2024 — Present · San Francisco, CA, US

   I lead product and technical strategy, designing data pipelines that unify fragmented payer, Medicaid, workforce, and claims data and turning it into actionable analytics for providers.Our platform helps clinics and providers:• Benchmark reimbursement rates across payers and states• Identify and prevent claim denials before they happen• Map workforce and network adequacy in real time• Transform raw data into insights that drive revenue and sustainabilityOur mission is ambitious but simple: eliminate claims denials and bring clarity to one of the most opaque areas of healthcare.
