Program Overview

From Strategy to Execution in AI-Enabled Health Innovation

Building AI Solutions to Transform Healthcare is an intensive online build sprint for leaders who want to create new AI-enabled products, services, and ventures in healthcare. Participants bring a real opportunity area—whether inside a health system, life sciences organization, payer, startup, or public agency—and work through a structured process to shape it into a clear product concept with defined users, workflows, and measurable value. 

Over the program, participants use an AI-native build workflow to pressure-test assumptions, make disciplined product decisions, and rapidly translate their concept into a functional prototype or substantial MVP. The course culminates in a concise pitch designed for real decision contexts—internal innovation funding, venture investors, or public-sector pathways—so participants leave prepared to move from ambition to action.
