Every startup is using AI. Some put it in the front of their pitch deck and some don't, but whether using a so my favorite AI experience that at least I'm aware of as an AI experience three years ago was when I needed to get home back to Massachusetts. The American Airlines app suggested that I fly from Phoenix to Philadelphia to Providence, Rhode Island. And I clicked a button and it worked, which like not an ideal flight path, but it got me home.
Today, we're excited to get to know Dr. Andrew Schutzbank. Andrew spent almost a decade at Iora health, where he held the esteemed positions of Medical Director and Senior Vice President, overseeing clinical operations and product development.
