Great to have hosted The Messy Middle: From AI Promise to Clinical Reality during #NYTechWeek last week. We brought together healthcare leaders, innovators, and investors for an engaging, candid discussion on what it truly takes to move AI beyond pilots and into scaled, real‑world deployment. The conversation zeroed in on the practical challenges—validation, workflow integration, governance, and change management—alongside the opportunities to drive meaningful patient and operational impact. Thank you to everyone who joined and contributed thoughtful perspectives. One theme was unmistakable: success in healthcare AI is less about the technology itself and more about execution, alignment, and trust across complex ecosystems.
