Latif Khalil Spent Decades Making Data Behave. Then His Company Became Part of the System.

Matt Wilson Put Clinical Research on Autopilot
A 14-hour emergency shift and a six-week military camp exposed the same problem: clinicians had no spare time for research. Matt Wilson built uMed to make the machinery run in the background.
Ali Khokhar

Priyanka Agarwal
Priyanka Agarwal is a physician-turned-founder building HealthEx, an AI-powered patient consent and data-rights platform she started in 2022. A practicing UCSF telehealth physician with an MD from Harvard Medical School and an MBA from Harvard Business School, she is rebuilding how patients grant, revoke, and direct access to their own medical records. HealthEx raised $14M led by General Catalyst, connected to national networks through TEFCA, and partnered with MD Anderson, Epic, CLEAR, and athenahealth to make patient-controlled data the default rather than the exception.
Shashi Shankar
Shashi Shankar is the co-founder and CEO of Novellia, a New York-based, AI-enabled health data platform that turns patients' scattered medical records into clean, longitudinal stories that biopharma companies can actually use. After nearly a decade at Genentech and Roche, he started Novellia in response to his grandfather's death from cancer, when his family found there was no single place to see the man's complete medical history. The company raised an $18M Series A led by Spark Capital and Shankar was named to Worth Magazine's 2025 AI & Health Access Pioneer list.
