Saltzman, a practicing physician who specializes in internal medicine, most recently served as vice president of medical at tech-enabled clinical trial platform TrialSpark. Ovia was acquired by diagnostics giant Labcorp last year.
"Ovia is a completely unique health tech company," Saltzman said in a statement. "It provides a product that fosters improved outcomes for women and families by empowering people to take greater control over their health, and it directly aligns with the incentives of payers, employers and clinicians. I consider it a privilege to be joining a mission-driven organization that continues to have a positive influence on the health and lives of so many."

Sundaramoorthy comes to Wellinks from value-based kidney care company Somatus, where she worked as executive vice president of clinical enterprise. She's also served in leadership positions at University Hospitals Health System in Ohio.
"Wellinks' patient-centered approach to virtual-first COPD care aligns perfectly with my personal values and philosophy of care, and I am excited to continue advancing high-quality care rooted in value with this incredible team," Sundaramoorthy said in a statement.
"I saw firsthand in my hospital practice how COPD patients have been left behind by the existing delivery system, and I look forward to making sure they have access to the same kind of innovative, virtual care that has revolutionized care in other chronic disease areas."
The COPD-focused startup scored $25 million in Series C funding late last year.

"We are thrilled to add Dr. Khaleghi to our growing team at Base. His impressive background will help boost our medical team, as well as advance our mission to bridge the gap between science and consumers," Base founder and CEO Lola Priego said in a statement.
"With his expertise, we aim to create an all-encompassing support system for people looking to take control of their health through prevention and personalization."
Base launched a little more than a year ago with $3.4 million in a seed funding round.
