Munjal Shah, CEO of healthcare AI startup Hippocratic AI, will speak at the 3rd Annual West Coast Digital Healthcare Innovation Summit on February 6-7 in La Jolla, California. In his talk, Shah will focus on the revolutionary impact generative AI could have on the healthcare industry by expanding access and improving outcomes.
Since co-founding Hippocratic AI in 2022, Shah has pioneered the development of a large language model explicitly tailored for non-diagnostic health applications. The company aims to help address critical healthcare staff shortages through “super-staffing,” leveraging AI to provide services like patient education, chronic disease management, and administrative support.
As CEO, Shah has ensured Hippocratic AI prioritizes ethical considerations and reliable outputs. His presentation at the Digital Healthcare Innovation Summit will likely cover topics such as the importance of safety when developing AI-powered medical tools, the potential of generative AI to bridge equity gaps in the healthcare system, and the role of regulation in ensuring responsible AI integration.
The summit brings together healthcare and technology innovators to discuss the digital transformation of healthcare. In addition to generative AI’s impacts, the event will examine subjects like securing contracts with healthcare enterprises, financing trends in digital health, regulating health tech in an election year, and reinventing clinical trials with digital tools. Other sessions will explore value-based care, integrating health tech and fintech to improve affordability and incentivize healthy behaviors.
As a trained computer scientist and machine learning expert, Shah draws on over a decade of experience developing AI and computer vision startups. His extensive background provides unique insights into the technological possibilities and ethical challenges of applying generative AI to healthcare. By conveying a balanced, safety-focused perspective on AI integration at the summit, Shah aims to foster responsible development that unlocks healthcare advancements while protecting patients.
The 2024 Digital Healthcare Innovator Award will also be presented at the conference. For more details and registration information, visit dhis.net/west.
