AI at the Frontier of Health: Provocative Conversations with Four of the Country's Leading Founders
On the evening of June 25, Liza Health and the Massachusetts AI Coalition are convening an intimate gathering of leaders at the intersection of AI and health in Boston.
Important - Chatham House Rules Apply.
Moderated by Liza Health Co-Founder and Serial Entreprenuer and Investor Andy Palmer, the centerpiece is a moderated roundtable conversation with three founders who are actively building at the frontier:
Rushika Fernandopulle, MD, MPP — Co-Founder & CEO, Liza Health. Previously co-founded Iora Health, one of the most consequential primary care innovations of the last decade, acquired by Amazon in 2023.
David Sontag, PhD — Co-Founder & CEO, Layer Health. MIT Professor with 100+ published papers in AI/ML. Layer Health uses large language models to unlock high-value insights from unstructured EHR data.
Cyril Zakka, MD — Co-Founder & CEO, Almanac Health. Physician-researcher who developed foundational retrieval-augmented generation work for clinical medicine at Stanford (published in NEJM AI) and previously led health AI at Hugging Face.
Andy will drive a deliberately provocative discussion - and audience participation is not only encouraged, but will be a key feature. Bring your questions!
Following what should be a lively conversation, there will be ample time to network over fantastic Latin Fusion cuisine from our friends at T'Keyoyo in Chelsea, MA. Food and drink (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic) are being offered courtesy of our generous sponsors, Pillar VC and Orrick.
This gathering is designed for AI engineers, physician innovators, policy leaders, community leaders, and industry change agents who are shaping the future of health in the bay state and setting the tone for the country.
