This startup’s stated mission is to “democratize access to high-quality health care” with its marketplace of radiology AI apps. Led by Dr. Vidur Mahajan WG16, the firm aggregates apps in a one-stop shop for health-care organizations and other customers. “We want to be the place where health-care providers go to connect with the technology developers who can help them achieve better outcomes for their patients,” Mahajan told Forbes last year, fresh off a $6 million funding round. The firm, which seeks to simplify the process of identifying cutting-edge radiology AI and integrating it into existing workflows, counts Massachusetts General Hospital and the Singapore government among its users.

Healthmap Solutions

Named an EY Entrepreneur of the Year in 2024, Healthmap Solutions CEO Eric Reimer WG96 is leading the company’s charge to improve care for kidney patients.

Noting Reimer’s recognition, the EY judges said: “Eric’s transformative leadership has revolutionized kidney health care for over 150,000 patients through a mix of services, telehealth, and education, firmly establishing the company as a vanguard in the industry.”

As a software platform, CancerIQ offers hyper-personalized care plans and assesses risks in patients by avoiding the one-size-fits-all approach. The tool focuses on early detection with more precise screening. CancerIQ has been implemented in more than 200 clinic locations across the U.S.

Suki

One of the biggest issues in health care is often overlooked: physician burnout.

Suki uses AI-powered voice technology to complete documentation 76 percent faster on average, saving physicians hours of time. Says Soni: “The mission is to make health-care tech assistive and invisible, so that clinicians can do what they really love doing and are trained to do, which is clinical care.” Bloomberg recently reported that the startup is valued at $400 million.
