JaxTech: Healthcare Tech in Jax

Healthcare is undergoing one of the most transformative periods in modern history, and Jacksonville is becoming a hub for pioneering innovation across telehealth, data-driven care, AI-powered clinical support, and the patient experience.

For our next Jax Tech event, we’re bringing together some of the region’s leading voices in health technology to explore how digital tools, intelligent systems, and new care models are reshaping outcomes for patients and providers alike. Whether you’re in healthcare, tech, data science, policy, or simply curious about where the future of medicine is headed, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.

## Featured Speakers

### Dr. Matthew Thompson

CEO & Co-Founder, Telescope Health
As a physician, innovator, and co-founder of Telescope Health, Dr. Thompson has been at the forefront of reshaping how communities access care. From large-scale telehealth programs to data-driven triage tools and public–private partnerships, he’s helping redefine what modern, connected healthcare looks like.
He’ll share insights on:

• How telehealth is evolving beyond virtual urgent care
• Using data to improve outcomes, reduce friction, and enhance care navigation

• What the next generation of patient-centric digital health will require

Expect real-world examples, lessons from the front lines, and a look at how Jacksonville is influencing the broader healthcare transformation.

### Rishi Muchhala

Senior Director, Innovation & Application Engineering, Nemours Children’s Health
AI is rapidly becoming one of the most powerful forces in medicine — from radiology image analysis to real-time clinical documentation to custom AI models trained on proprietary healthcare datasets. At Nemours, Rishi is helping architect these breakthroughs and bring them into clinical reality.
He’ll discuss:

• How AI is supporting clinicians through imaging insights and decision assistance
• Real-time generation of clinical notes using domain-specific LLMs
• Building and training your own models using private healthcare data
• What healthcare innovation pipelines look like today — and how hospitals adopt them safely

You’ll gain a deep look into the technical, strategic, and ethical considerations shaping AI’s role in healthcare right now.
