Description: The best healthcare AI isn't built in a polished demo and a pitch deck — it's built doing rounds at the hospital, sitting with clinical staff between patients, and watching workflows break in real time. We moved into four clinics for four months — learned why providers wanted nothing to do with another surface-level AI. It taught us that everything we were building was wrong. Using design thinking with clinical teams — building with them, not for them — we rebuilt from scratch. What emerged was ClinicaMind OS, a collaboration-first platform that flips how medical systems are built. The most resistant staff became our biggest champions. And our voice-first approach revealed the hardest problems worth solving — making AI work for a 78-year-old Spanish-speaking grandmother with early-stage dementia. This is the unfiltered story of ClinicaMind: from idea, to hackathon prototype, to early failure, to living in hospitals to success in production. Why the future of healthcare AI is collaborative, not autonomous. And why, in a market flooded with AI agents, clinical research — not features — is the only moat that matters.
David Sarabia, CEO and co-founder of ClinicaMind, the company building Patient Memory as healthcare's missing layer. A serial health tech entrepreneur with over a decade in the industry and two prior exits, including a unicorn, David's path into healthcare wasn't a career move. It was personal. After years of success in tech including a unicorn exit to Insight Partners, addiction and homelessness stripped everything away. Recovery led him to build inRecovery, a data-driven addiction care platform that served health systems like Northwell and UHS. Then his father, an immigrant now in his 90s, began losing his memory to early dementia, and David watched medicine lose its memory of him at the same time. Every appointment started from zero. ClinicaMind exists to close that gap. He is joined by co-founders Dasha Sarabia (COO) and Dr. Nilay Shah (CMO), a practicing neurologist and former Chairman of the American Academy of Neurology. The company's research is developed with AI Alliance in partnership with IBM and Meta, David has guest lectured on applied AI in healthcare at MIT, Caltech, and Harvard.

We are looking for more talks on the fundamental questions of Agentic AI platforms, framework and protocols, especially whether a platform layer will hold. Comment with proposals or email us!
