Austin MedTech Connect: AI in Practice Real-World AI Applications Transforming Healthcare & MedTech - July 16, 2026 · 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM
Artificial intelligence is dominating headlines, boardroom discussions, and investment conversations. But where is it actually creating value?
Join Austin MedTech Connect for AI in Practice, an interactive workshop showcasing how healthcare and medtech innovators are deploying AI today to solve real-world challenges.
Rather than a traditional panel discussion, this event is designed as a hands-on, demonstration-focused experience featuring leaders who are actively implementing AI across strategy, operations, clinical care, and healthcare innovation. Each speaker gives a short, ~15-minute live demonstration followed by audience Q&A — more of a show-and-tell than a lecture.
Whether you're a founder, healthcare executive, clinician, investor, researcher, advisor, or industry professional, you'll gain practical insights into how AI is being used right now, and what it takes to successfully implement these technologies.
What You'll Experience
AI-Powered Executive Decision-Making — Doug Burkott | PreBoard
What if you could pressure-test your next investor pitch, board presentation, or health system meeting before walking into the room? Doug will demonstrate how AI-powered governance simulations help organizations refine their value proposition, strengthen strategic decision-making, and prepare for high-stakes executive conversations.
AI for Neurological Diagnosis & Recovery — Ali Haider | Founder & CEO, Lilia AI
Lilia AI is developing next-generation AI-powered medical technologies designed to improve neurological care. Ali will showcase how AI is being applied to brain aneurysm diagnosis through a patented agentic AI architecture advancing toward FDA clearance, as well as how AI and virtual reality are being combined to support traumatic brain injury rehabilitation in clinical settings.
AI for Quality & Regulatory Excellence — Rambod Tabasi | Founder & CEO, Bild
Rambod will show how autonomous AI agents help medical device companies draft, review, and search engineering documentation, catch non-conformities early, and maintain traceability continuously rather than retroactively — streamlining compliance, audit readiness, and development velocity. Expect a live demonstration using redacted, real-world examples.
AI Governance, Legal Considerations & Risk Management — Hal Katz | Partner, Husch Blackwell
As AI adoption accelerates, healthcare and medtech organizations face new legal, regulatory, intellectual property, and compliance considerations. Hal will share practical perspectives on responsible AI implementation and the evolving regulatory landscape surrounding healthcare innovation.
