- Bluevia Health is collaborating with Mayo Clinic Platform to make perioperative care safer with AI.
- Supahost AI exited stealth with Guest Messaging Autopilot, an autonomous AI agent for property managers, after handling 1M+ guest messages and saving 35k+ hours across pilot hosts.
- Lucentia came out of stealth to build the “mammogram of the heart”: AI software that transforms routine cardiac CT scans into richer coronary diagnostics.
