ViVE: Digital Health Conference

ViVE is the premier event where the business of healthcare meets the future of technology.

One Problem, 99 Solutions
February 23, 2026 | 1:10pm | Malibu Stage

The vendor landscape has become so crowded that distinguishing genuine breakthroughs from well-marketed incrementalism requires entirely new due diligence frameworks. Investors are evolving beyond traditional metrics, demanding evidence of scaled deployments rather than pilot success stories, scrutinizing go-to-market strategies, and stress-testing whether founding teams understand hospital procurement realities. The hot take for 2026: the winners won't be the companies with the most sophisticated AI or the pristine demos, they'll be the ones who can articulate defensible competitive advantages that survive when ten higher-funded competitors enter the same lane.

In a market where everyone claims to be outcomes-driven and AI-powered, smart money is hunting for technical differentiation that matters, commercial traction that proves market fit, and team resilience that can navigate multi-year sales cycles. Join us as our panel of experts discuss which of the ninety-nine solutions per problem will still exist in three years, and how should investors separate signals from noise before the market does it for them?
