Most healthcare AI headlines focus on breakthrough and predictive models, but the biggest impact often comes from “unsexy AI”: automating tasks such as triage, outreach, documentation, and claims workflows that teams perform every day. This is a practical session where we’ll share a framework that works in real life, how to choose the right use case, define success metrics, and design an agent workflow that can handle messy inputs like PDFs, faxes, and call notes. We will practice StackAI hands-on and briefly share lessons from building AI Agents in this no-code agent workflow platform founded by two MIT PhDs, and what we’ve learned deploying in regulated environments.
Shani Fargun is VP of Healthcare at StackAI, where she leads strategy and go-to-market for AI agent workflow automation in healthcare. She brings cross-sector experience across payers, providers, and medical devices, with a focus on deploying compliant AI systems that reduce operational burden and improve execution. Shani is a 2025 MIT Sloan Fellows MBA graduate.
