AI4Health Industry Day

About

AI4Health Industry day is back! Join us for a one-day summit focused on real-world AI in healthcare, from predictive modeling and diagnostics to personalized care and operational improvements. This year, we are zooming in on clinical applications and primary care, especially across the Delaware Valley and tristate region. Researchers, health systems, policymakers, and industry leaders will meet to share problems, prototype ideas, and build partnerships that last.

Speaker Spotlight: This year, we are honored to welcome Delaware’s Secretary of Health and Social Services, Secretary Christen Linke Young, to open the day with an address on the state's vision for healthcare innovation, AI, and the future of public health infrastructure. Her participation will anchor the conversation and highlight Delaware’s commitment to responsible, inclusive innovation in healthcare from policy to practice, and across every community.

We are also excited to feature Jesse Tetreault (NVIDIA), who will bring an industry and research-driven perspective on how advances in AI are transforming the life sciences ecosystem. His talk, “Transforming Life Sciences in the Age of Generative, Agentic, and Physical AI,” will explore NVIDIA’s vision for the current era of AI and its impact on healthcare and biomedical research. Topics will include agentic AI in digital health, physical AI in medical devices, generative AI in digital biology, and real-world use cases and research highlights that demonstrate how these technologies are moving from innovation to deployment.

Expect:

Keynotes from national leaders in AI and health
Panels on deployment, equity, and real clinical challenges
Featuring speakers from academia, industry, health systems, and government
Poster sessions from top students and researchers
Coffee chats & brainstorming
