Ignite Talks: AI in Healthcare & Medtech
Part of Twin Cities Startup Week 2026, September 14–18.
Building with AI in healthcare means working within an industry where speed and experimentation have to coexist with regulation, risk, clinical accuracy, and real-world usability. In this rapid-fire Ignite series, four speakers will each have five minutes to share one lesson from their work across healthcare AI and MedTech, followed by two minutes of audience Q&A. The talks will explore applying AI to complex clinical information, designing AI-enabled healthcare products, navigating FDA requirements, and identifying product and regulatory risks early enough to make better decisions.
Speakers:
Emmanuel Fle Chea — Founder & CEO, Lexify Health
Heatherlee Nguyen — Principal Product Designer, Aroris Health
Steve Gompertz — MedTech Quality & Regulatory Consultant
Jamie Ryan — MedTech Innovation Advisor
