Michael Ciullo: A Rising Star Transforming Remote Healthcare in 2026
In the ever-evolving realm of healthcare, few have managed to make as significant an impact as Michael Ciullo, the founder and CEO of Nsight Health. Recently, Ciullo was honored as one of Becker's Hospital Review's "Rising Stars: 188 Healthcare Leaders Under 40" for 2026. This prestigious recognition celebrates those shaping the future of healthcare and acknowledges leaders under the age of forty who are making transformative contributions to the industry.
Founded in 2021, Nsight Health is not just another healthcare startup—it's touted as the fastest-growing remote care company in the United States, all achieved without relying on external capital. By the time he turned 35, Ciullo had already built two nationally renowned healthcare companies, which speaks volumes about his entrepreneurial prowess and determination.
Nsight Health's rapid growth is evident in its impressive patient reach—over 150,000 patients across more than 2,000 provider teams in 560+ clinics nationwide. In 2025 alone, the company boasted a staggering revenue increase of 140% year over year, bringing its cumulative growth to an eye-popping 23,000% since its inception. This remarkable performance earned Nsight Health a spot on the esteemed 2026 Inc. 5000 list, marking it as one of the best-performing private companies in the United States.
Ciullo attributes the success of Nsight Health to a team that feels more like family than mere colleagues. "All the glory goes to God. I want to thank our incredible staff for all that they do — this team is family to me, and I couldn't be prouder of what we have accomplished for patients and providers across the country," he stated, highlighting the collaborative spirit that fuels his organization.
Nsight Health provides an array of six clinically managed remote care programs, including remote patient monitoring, chronic care management, and behavioral health integration. What sets them apart is their proprietary AI-powered remote care platform, PRVNT, which integrates seamlessly with over 500 EHR systems, handling a remarkable 362 million patient updates annually. This technology empowers clinicians to optimize their work processes while focusing on personalized care delivery.
The positive outcomes from Nsight’s remote care programs are remarkable. For instance, among their monitored population, critical hypertensive alerts declined by 49% across 11,148 patients. Additionally, critical heart failure indicators saw a drop of 72% in just two months. Such data not only reflects the efficacy of Nsight Health’s innovative approach but underscores a shift in how healthcare is being delivered.
"For a long time, healthcare was built around the office visit. Today, providers need more touchpoints," Ciullo asserted. He emphasizes that the episodic care model is no longer sufficient; continuous monitoring leads to better patient outcomes, enhanced experiences, and reduced costs. Through the integration of AI, Nsight Health has significantly increased patient engagement and adherence, paving the way for better health outcomes.
Ciullo’s journey is a testament to the power of innovation and dedication in the healthcare landscape. By challenging the traditional norms and pushing for improvement in the monitoring and management of health, Nsight Health under Ciullo's leadership is not just a company but a movement towards a more effective and compassionate healthcare system.
