AI in Hospitals & Health Systems: What’s Now, What’s Next

AI has entered a new phase in healthcare—moving from early pilots to practical systems that genuinely improve patient access, operational flow, and staff experience. Adoption may be thoughtful and measured, but the momentum is unmistakable. The next chapter is about using AI confidently, at scale, and in ways that strengthen care.

To explore what’s happening now—and what’s coming next—we’re bringing together three leaders driving this evolution:

Bill Hudson, Chief Information Officer at Hippocratic AI — Helping lead one of the most closely watched companies building safety-first, patient-facing AI agents for health systems

Tosan Boyo, Founder & CEO of Olusan, and Governance Chair & Board Member at the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) - the world’s leading organization for quality and patient safety. 

Moderated by Kirsten Brecht Baker, CEO & Co-Founder of Jeenie — A Human + AI innovator connecting patients and providers through language and culture.

Where AI is already delivering value inside major health systems

What the next wave of AI means for patient communication, access, and operational redesign

How early adopters are implementing AI with safety, trust, and strong outcomes at the center

Insightful, practical, and future-ready—without the doom-and-gloom.

Bill and Tosan offer insider perspectives from two critical vantage points: healthcare operational leadership and healthcare-specific AI innovation. Kirsten brings the Human + AI lens, connecting technology with patient communication and equity.

This session is built for leaders who want clarity, direction, and a realistic understanding of what AI can do for their system right now...and tomorrow.
