Doceree this week celebrated the first annual iteration of its “AI Health 25” list with a gathering of the leaders that it has identified as paving the future of AI use in healthcare. 

At an intimate dinner in New York City on Wednesday, Doceree brought together and recognized the first list of innovators, spanning major pharma companies, health systems, clinical platforms and agencies. 

To get to the final list, the Doceree team identified standout AI-driven work across pharma, medtech and healthcare marketing, and the people behind it. From there, each candidate was deeply researched and evaluated against five pillars of criteria: measurable impact, innovation depth, scale and reach, leadership and advocacy, and responsible AI. 

The resulting group is meant to represent the leaders who are thoughtfully and creatively pushing AI forward to reshape the ways in which medicines are developed, marketed and delivered, according to Doceree.
