Solid summary here Jared Augenstein. I actually think that by Trump pulling the executive order down, it is going to slow the adoption of AI in healthcare dramatically. The reason is that large healthcare organizations are seeking well-thought-out guardrails that they can just implement vs now each organization has to go through that entire thought process and decision-making all on their own. This will take years and the more conservative organizations will wait to be the last mover. For the start-ups, they now have to jump through a unique set up hoops for each client which is going to draw out the already wildly long sale cycles. Lastly, to your point Jared, each healthcare organization AND start-up is going to have to adjust to the each State's unique set of additional laws. Healthcare is a unique industry - I think pulling the EO for other industries can possibly accelerate adoption of AI, but in healthcare, it is going to slow it way down! #healthcareai #healthcareinnovation #ai

As one of the most active early stage investors in Chicago and operator of TeamWorking by TechNexus, the largest single coworking space in the city, we at TechNexus Venture Collaborative are actively tracking over 1,000 early stage Chicago ventures across all industries. In our newest series, Reinventing Industry: Mapping the Venture Landscape of Chicago, we’re highlighting the largest and most disruptive categories seeing local venture activity. To start, we examined the Chicago-based innovators in healthtech — which features companies building AI-powered imaging/diagnostic tools, digital health platforms, and novel medical devices, to name a few verticals. These young startups benefit from surrounding infrastructure like medtech accelerators (MATTER, mHUB ), incumbent corporate leaders (AbbVie, Walgreens, Baxter International Inc.), hospital systems (Northwestern Memorial Hospital, Rush University Medical Center, Endeavor Health), cutting edge research universities (Northwestern University, University of Chicago), and leading venture / PE firms (venture: 7wire Ventures, 2Flo Ventures | PE: Shore Capital Partners, Thoma Bravo) focused on the space. Read the full breakdown linked below, and stay tuned for the next overview of the energy / sustainability landscape!

Some highlights and shoutouts from #ConvergeSouth 🌵 Nanbar Health (Elizabeth Hensley and AB Gundala) collecting more accurate, real-time patient data to speed up medical visits and as a way to overcome the many issues patients face sharing objective information with their providers ⛳ Meridian Performance Systems Inc. (Josh Kohn) - improving our putting game and connecting golfers of all skillsets, to professional recommendations, training content and more, right from your phone 🐢 myCharity (Will Hedrick) - ever wonder if your donations to charities actually get to the intended organization? myCharity solves that problem by giving you visibility, sharing consistent field updates and allowing you to get even more insights through their digital platform 🩺 Corstrata (Joseph Ebberwein) - certified wound care nurses are super limited in the US and cannot always consult with the patients who need them most. Corstrata connects these valuable professionals to wound patients through their platform. ⚕️ SiteLabs (Darren Schaupp) - providing diagnostic and preventative testing at independent pharmacies and delivering results in an app. This is helping overcome the huge doctor shortage that is looming and making testing easier to get for nearly any individual 🍊 Grapefruit Health (there was no grapefruit emoji, sorry Eric Alvarez) - there is a ton of healthcare work that needs to get done, but systems can't hire and retain the people necessary to do those tasks. Grapefruit finds quality healthcare students, trains them and executes those tasks for health systems I only mentioned a handful of great Founders and the problems they're solving - there were so many other impressive folks at ConvergeSouth this year. Comment if there are others you want to shout out!
