CTO Forum: Bridging Health System Innovation and Venture Capital

Vision
The CTO Forum serves as a dynamic platform connecting Chief Technology Officers in healthcare with the Venture Capital community. Our vision is to empower Health System CTOs to collaboratively shape the future of healthcare infrastructure by sharing insights on the impact of emerging technologies—especially Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning—on system-wide transformation.

Purpose
The Forum facilitates candid discussions on real-world challenges and opportunities in modernizing healthcare systems. It provides a space for CTOs to explore how rapidly evolving technologies such as AI, Big Data, Analytics, IoT medical devices, and cloud solutions can be responsibly integrated into health system infrastructures.

Why It Matters
Venture Capital firms are flooded with business plans claiming to revolutionize healthcare. Yet, few are grounded in the real needs of health systems. The CTO Forum helps bridge this gap—offering VCs valuable insights from seasoned CTOs who can validate what is practical, scalable, and truly impactful.

Who’s Involved
Participants include health system CTOs, technology entrepreneurs, investors, academic researchers, and innovation leaders. From university labs to startup founders, all are working toward the next generation of healthcare solutions. The Venture community depends on trusted input from health executives to make smarter, more aligned investments.

No Barriers to Entry
Joining the CTO Forum is simple. There are no formal requirements, no time commitments—just a shared interest in exchanging ideas and fostering meaningful connections. It’s an informal yet valuable opportunity to shape the dialogue between healthcare operations and health tech innovation.

Together, we can drive smarter decisions, more strategic investments, and a stronger future for all healthcare stakeholders.
