/ About this event

AI in healthcare isn't a debate about whether a model can out-diagnose a doctor. The real question that actually determines whether healthcare AI ships or stalls, is what it takes to move a complex system forward: the data foundation, the regulation, the people who have to trust it.

We're bringing together a hospitalist, a frontier AI researcher, and the engineering leader behind the data infrastructure of the world's largest clinical studies, for a candid conversation on what actually moves healthcare forward, and what the gaps are.

Hear from panelists including: - Dr. Jay Shah, Cancer Surgeon and previous Chief of Medical Staff at Stanford Health Care - Meet Shah, Research Engineer at Google DeepMind - Kashyap Tumkur, Engineering Director at Verily Health - John Xing, Co-Founder + CTO at Concurrence

This panel is for engineers and researchers curious about healthcare (no healthcare experience needed) and the people building health tech in production.

Where does AI, or any technology, actually fit into that bigger picture? Come find out.

Stick around after the panel for drinks + light snacks.
