Future Communities Institute has launched the Bay Area's first AI-powered safety net programme in partnership with Five Keys, ReImagine Freedom and Akido Labs. The initiative will use Akido's AI-enabled care model to expand street medicine teams and deliver personalised care to vulnerable populations. The programme addresses growing homelessness in the Bay Area, which has increased 6% year-over-year, with approximately two-thirds of unhoused residents living on the streets. It deploys Akido's ScopeAI system, which guides community health workers through comprehensive patient visits and can initiate medically assisted treatment for substance use disorders within four hours of initial contact. ScopeAI has been trained on over 10 million patient cases and currently supports visits across multiple medical specialties, serving 500,000 patients through Akido's network of 240 clinicians.

Akido Labs has appointed Matt Siegler as Chief Network Officer to lead growth and operations across its AI-powered care network serving over 500,000 patients in California, Rhode Island and New York. Siegler previously served as Chief Growth and Strategy Officer at NYC Health & Hospitals, where he drove $6 billion in revenue growth. The company also added Jack Greco, co-founder of $3 billion ACV Auctions, to its board of directors. Cath Anderson joined as Chief Communications Officer, whilst Jim McGee moved into the role of Chief Transformation Officer. The appointments come as Akido reports 300% year-over-year revenue growth into the mid-nine figures. The AI-native healthcare provider operates across 26 specialties and plans rapid expansion in 2026, scaling its risk-bearing care models and ScopeAI clinical platform.
