Why 80% of AI Pilots in Healthcare Fail: The Truth About Scaling Real-World AI in a Regulated, High-Stakes Industry

AI is redefining healthcare, but most pilots never make it past the proof-of-concept stage. As organizations rush to adopt AI solutions, they’re discovering that the path from successful pilot to scaled production is fraught with challenges unique to healthcare — from regulatory compliance to clinical validation and everything in between.

You’ll hear honest insights on what it really takes to integrate AI when you’re building for trust in an industry that can’t afford to get it wrong. We’ll break down the shift from proof-of-concept to intelligence-led growth, how to avoid the pitfalls that drain resources without delivering impact, and the critical practices teams need to equip your system with the right skills and mindset to stay ahead.

We’ll speak with industry leaders at Adventus Capital & Baylor Scott & White Health Management Services who’ve been in the trenches navigating these waters — and understand how regulatory frameworks, team dynamics, and real customer value can make or break your AI initiatives.

This conversation is grounded in experience. Whether you’re just starting to explore AI investments in healthtech or already scaling initiatives within your SaaS business, this session will help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
