A few reflections I’m taking away:
- AI should enable real clinical decisions
- Trust and patient-first design are foundational
- Preventive health is accelerating
- The convergence of consumer health, biotech, and AI will reshape how care is delivered

I had a great time moderating our Fireside Chat on “AI in Healthcare,” alongside an incredible group of builders, operators, and healthcare leaders.
What stood out most was that we kept the conversation grounded in what actually matters: human health outcomes, not just AI hype.

"AI can automate much of the purchasing and vendor-comparison process for lower-ticket deals, but high-value, million-dollar decisions will still require human trust and a handshake." Even in the era of AI automation, trust and relationships remain irreplaceable.
