A lot of smart investors are betting on artificial intelligence, said Dick Flanigan, telling a crowd gathered Thursday at Digital Health Day that even if AI doesn’t turn every startup that uses it into a multi-million-dollar company, the technology still will fundamentally reshape health care.
“It’s transformational,” said Flanigan, CEO of Digital Health KC and veteran healthtech innovator, predicting a slow, but perfected progression toward AI-infused tools. “It’s the most important technology shift certainly in my lifetime.”
His remarks came as a packed house at The Abbott in Kansas City’s East Crossroads eagerly awaited presentation of the 2025 Lumi Awards — spotlighting leaders in research, entrepreneurship, and investment — as well as updates on the region’s digital health ecosystem.
Since launching, Digital Health KC programs have engaged more than 1,000 participants, and related companies have raised more than $50 million in early-stage capital, the organization reported.
