What does it take to move healthcare AI from theory to operation?
Martin Seneviratne, Co-CEO of R37 at R1, joins Brittany Sigler, Founder of Bright Signal Consulting, for a fireside conversation exploring what it takes to deploy AI inside one of healthcare's most complex operational environments. After leaving DeepMind to co-found an AI-native healthcare startup, Martin now helps bring cutting-edge machine learning into the workflows that power revenue cycle management for many of the largest health systems in the United States.
The conversation explores why deploying AI in healthcare remains far more difficult than building impressive models, how legacy organizations can become an advantage rather than a barrier, why data and distribution matter as much as the technology itself, and what it takes to transform decades-old healthcare workflows. Martin also shares candid perspectives on building AI products that deliver measurable outcomes, balancing research with execution, and why healthcare's biggest opportunity is getting AI into production at scale.
Recorded live at Scalpels & Spreadsheets' Healthtech Week during NY Tech Week.
