AI in Early-Stage Health Startups: What Will Matter Next
A candid conversation for health-tech founders on building — and proving — AI products.
As diligence gets sharper and health systems get more selective, an "AI-powered" claim on its own doesn't move a deal forward. This session looks at what actually does: what investors and health-system buyers look for beneath the AI label, how technical leaders separate real differentiation from table stakes, and how founders can build an AI roadmap that holds up once someone starts asking hard questions.
