#24 How Healthtech Teams are Integrating AI into Live Products. Bruno Ferrari. Otto Sipe. Vikas Sharma.

AI has become the biggest conversation in healthcare, but what does it mean if you already have a product in the market? Do you pivot to compete with AI native companies or stay steady? On the other side, will the speed and adaptability of AI-first startups remain an advantage as the technology matures?Bruno Ferrari (Head of Innovation at Light-it), Otto Sipe (Co-Founder & CEO of Photon Health), and Vikas Sharma (Director of Deployment at Anterior) join for a panel exploring how healthcare organizations are moving beyond AI hype and into real-world deployment. Drawing from their experiences building products for providers, payers, and patients, they discuss what it takes to integrate AI into existing workflows while balancing cost, trust, regulation, and measurable outcomes.The conversation explores why many companies approach AI implementation the wrong way, how startups should think about infrastructure versus features, the evolving role of engineers in an AI-first world, and where the biggest opportunities still exist across healthcare. The panel also shares candid perspectives on fundraising, token economics, workflow redesign, and why solving real customer problems is what ultimately creates lasting value.Recorded live during NY Tech Week at Scalpels & Spreadsheets’ 2026 Healthtech Week in New York City.
