Medical Intelligence 10 (MI10)

Just returned from the Medical Intelligence 10 (MI10) AI for Healthcare Leaders Event, and I’m truly inspired by the energy, collaboration, and innovation that defined the experience. A huge thank-you to Anthony, Rebecca, and Brianna for making it so seamless for Csuite Growth Advisors to partner with #MI10, and to Kenji (Ken) Funahashi. at Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati for hosting us. The event’s themes resonated deeply with the challenges and opportunities in healthcare: ➡️ Diverse Collaboration for Innovation: Founders, funders, AI experts, physicians, clinicians, and other thought leaders came together, proving that blending diverse perspectives is key to driving transformative solutions. ➡️ Turning Insight into Action: Interactive panels and hands-on working sessions demonstrated how to translate thought leadership into actionable strategies, focusing on problem definition, clear solution pathways, and pull-through to performance. ➡️ Curated and Intimate Engagement: The event’s thoughtful, intimate format created space for meaningful, high-energy discussions, fostering an environment designed to accelerate innovation and progress. Events like this reaffirm how intentional collaboration and design are essential to solving healthcare’s most complex challenges. They also offer a unique opportunity for all of us to learn, grow, and refine our approach to driving impactful change. Grateful to have partnered with such a talented group to move the needle forward. #Innovation #Collaboration #AI #HealthcareLeadership #CGA_BRIDGe

🧬 AI in Healthcare: The Synergy of Technology & Humanity🌍💡 Last week, I attended the AI for Healthcare Leaders Conference, hosted by Medical Intelligence 10 (MI10) and Csuite Growth Advisors. This wasn’t just another event—it was a masterclass in how artificial intelligence is leveraging healthcare with intention, ethics, and innovation. 🧠 Grateful Takeaways: 1️⃣ AI as an Amplifier, Not a Replacement: Dr. Anthony Chang, MD, MBA, MPH, MS, Dr. Arwa Nada, Dr. Sharief Taraman, MD, DABPN, DABPM, FAAP, and Brian Paradis emphasized a powerful truth: AI isn’t the hero of this story—humans are. Its value lies in complementing expertise, enabling healthcare professionals to solve problems with greater clarity and speed. 2️⃣ Ethics as the Foundation of Innovation: Sessions with Dr. Alan S. Young, MD MBA, Ian Slade, and Kenji (Ken) Funahashi made it clear: fairness, transparency, and equity aren’t optional—they’re non-negotiable. Without these principles, AI risks amplifying the very issues it seeks to solve. 3️⃣ Real-World Lessons: Dr. Eric Eskioğlu, MD, MBA, FAANS, Dave Whelan, Thomas Nichols and Peter Horne didn’t sugarcoat the realities of AI implementation. They discussed ROI hurdles, cultural shifts, and the iterative nature of progress. I particularly appreciated Peter Horne's insights, informed by his leadership experience with the UK’s National Health Service (NHS)—a system that exemplifies the complexities of large-scale healthcare management. The key takeaway? Stay the course with purpose and persistence. 4️⃣ From Participant to Panel: Being on my FIRST panel felt less like a discussion and more like an experiment in collaborative problem-solving. Everyone got a chance to speak, and that’s where the magic happens—real change starts when awareness meets action. If we’re not bringing mindfulness to the challenges in AI and healthcare, how can we solve them? It’s like flying a rocket without checking the fuel—you can’t fix what you don’t see. 🔗 Collaboration Is the Real Innovation: Breakthroughs don’t happen in silos—they happen when diverse perspectives collide. Conversations with leaders like Zakir Sikder, Eric Marton, Shiva Sharareh, PhD, Sujaya Darke, and David Ngo reinforced that the future of healthcare isn’t owned by any single discipline—it’s built collaboratively. 💡 Final Reflection: AI is already transforming healthcare, but the real opportunity lies in how we choose to direct it. For those passionate about pediatrics, public health, and equitable care (like me!), this conference was a powerful reminder that technology must elevate humanity. A huge thank you to Anthony Chang, MD, MBA, MPH, MS, Kenji (Ken) Funahashi, Rebecca Wiedemer - Golden Grove Global, and Brianna Halladay for creating a space where bold ideas meet ethical action. Here’s to a future where AI doesn’t just make healthcare smarter—it makes it fairer, kinder, and more human. 🚀✨ #AIinHealthcare #HealthcareLeadership #HealthTech #HealthInnovation

Wrapping up last week’s posts with a quick look back at one of my favorite conferences of the year. Last Friday, Medical Intelligence 10 (MI10) and Csuite Growth Advisors put together an intimate gathering at Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati that blended speakers and attendees in a way that created tremendous engagement and energy throughout the day. Not that we were lacking engagement and energy with the day’s topic: AI for Healthcare Leaders. Throughout a packed day, we discussed technology and transformation, with a healthy dose of RATIONAL exuberance and a dash of devil’s advocacy. I really appreciated when Anthony Chang, MD, MBA, MPH, MS brought all of the attendees to the front of the room for mini-panel discussions that integrated all of the diverse perspectives in the room. I also got to dust off my 1900s AI education by moderating a panel on AI lessons learned. Thank you to Eric Eskioğlu, MD, MBA, FAANS for your perspectives and to Brian Dolan for your last-minute appearance to round out our discussion. Last-minute was the name of the game, since I got added to the agenda late, thanks to the clever scheduling challenges of Lior Eshel Ansher. Lior and Rebecca Wiedemer - Golden Grove Global have been trying to get me to join these events for a while, and I appreciate the lengths they went to to get me on the program! It was great seeing my virtual conference buddies Anthony Chang, MD, MBA, MPH, MS and Sharief Taraman, MD, DABPN, DABPM, FAAP in person. It is always good to hang out with Kenji (Ken) Funahashi, Eric Marton, and Alan S. Young, MD MBA. And I enjoyed spending time with Ian Slade, Arwa Nada, Sabah Fatima, Zakir Sikder, and Sean Yee, among others. Everyone made the event a huge success. Special thanks to Kenji (Ken) Funahashi for hosting, to Rebecca Wiedemer - Golden Grove Global for orchestrating, and Brianna Halladay for capturing the day in photos. #AI #artificialintelligence #healthcare
