From the cohort

It has been a privilege to be part of the first cohort. Connecting face-to-face with leaders who are actively shaping the future of health AI was inspiring.

What I saw at Stanford was foundation models deployed at real scale, in real clinical workflows. Not pilots. Not demos. Production. The hard problem in healthcare AI isn't accuracy — it's what we build around the model, and who stays accountable when it's wrong.

Radiologist · First HAILS cohort

The bottleneck is no longer the model; it is deployment. You can build increasingly powerful models, but if the technology cannot navigate clinical workflows, regulation, and provider adoption, it will never create meaningful impact for patients.

Had an amazing — dare I say magical — few days. Meeting likeminded people, hearing from world-renowned speakers, and building a community driving the future of healthcare AI is what made HAILS so special.

The hard part isn't whether a model works, but getting it into routine use and keeping it working there — validating it locally, rolling it out in stages, and watching performance well after launch.

A week at Stanford University gave me enough to digest and reflect on for the rest of the year. No AI model can fix an ineffective system — we've got to fix the cracks in the process first, to make it ready for AI.

In healthcare, relationships move at the speed of trust — and two days with people from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Roche, Stanford, Harvard, the FDA and Menlo Ventures go a long way.

First HAILS cohort

The room was never static. Two days of digging into where AI is really showing up in healthcare and where it's headed, with a cohort that came at it from every angle.

Physicians and surgeons need to be involved at the beginning of the build, and have a seat at the table where implementation decisions happen, if we want an end result that actually helps us and our patients.

A perfect balance of high-level strategic thinking and the practical, 'bring-your-own-problem' reality of implementing AI in healthcare and life sciences.
