Karen Knudsen, Chief Executive Officer at Parker Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy, shared a post on LinkedIn by Hemant Taneja, CEO of General Catalyst, adding:
“Great to see you at JPM Hemant Taneja, and to spend a little time with you + Glen Tullman catching up on our joint efforts to improve health. We are thrilled to partner with General Catalyst to support some of our key portfolio companies to accelerate cancer cures!”
Quoting Hemant Taneja’s post:
“One of the highlights of JPM Healthcare Week was getting the WellSpan Health, HATCo, Percepta, and General Catalyst investment teams in a room to get in the weeds of AI transformation in healthcare.
The ambition is high. We want to build the blueprint for AI-native hospitals that drive resilience and abundance for their patients and healthcare workforces.
There are four critical elements to get there – the intelligence layer (purpose-built LLMs, reinforcement learning, optimization), data readiness (harnessing existing data, including what AI agents generate), workforce transformation (redesigning teams and workflows for human-AI collaboration), and courage at the top (leadership willing to wade into uncharted waters).
Our partnership model centers on working with our founders to make sure all four pieces are in place. We’re meeting founders where they are – co-creating AI-powered clinical workflows with health system customers, driving R&D by providing real deployment environments, and providing market access for founders looking to scale enterprise solutions in healthcare, which has a notoriously difficult sales motion. When we bring together our investment platform, operating companies like Percepta and HATCo, and forward-thinking health systems like Wellspan, the collaboration benefits the entire ecosystem.
This week, we also hosted a community event with Amazon Web Services (AWS), WellSpan, Aidoc, Commure, Hippocratic AI, Transcarent, HATCo, and Percepta, where you could feel that momentum. The energy was incredible – a growing movement of founders and health system leaders so dedicated to making healthcare better, they’re willing to transform it.”
