Our vision is to bridge the gap between AI-driven MedTech innovations and policy, ensuring that advocacy groups are equipped with the strategic insight and resources necessary to influence and shape legislative and regulatory frameworks. We aspire to be a catalyst for transformational change, empowering those at the forefront of AI MedTech to impact healthcare policy and regulation in ways that create lasting, meaningful improvements for society.
Our Story
The Center for AI & MedTech Innovation was born out of a singular purpose: to unite the power of AI and medical technology with the advocacy and policy-making needed to drive healthcare forward. The Center was founded by visionary technologist and philanthropist James Scott, who saw an urgent need for a collaborative platform that would enable advocacy groups to work hand-in-hand with lawmakers, regulators, and industry leaders to advance AI-driven medical technologies.
James Scott’s career has been marked by an unwavering commitment to innovation and global impact. His journey began in high school, where he excelled in an advanced STEM program, sparking a lifelong passion for technology and innovation. A key turning point came during his senior year when he was recruited by SGS Thomson Microelectronics (now STMicroelectronics), a global leader in aerospace and defense technology. This opportunity opened doors for Scott to work on cutting-edge technology projects and set him on a path toward international influence.
Over the years, Scott has held advisory roles with stakeholders in over 50 countries, guiding tech startups, research labs, and think tanks toward global expansion and success. His dedication to AI and MedTech innovation culminated in the creation of the Center for AI & MedTech Innovation, a philanthropic initiative that offers free, strategically targeted services to advocacy groups that share the Center’s mission of advancing AI MedTech through policy and regulatory engagement.
Under Scott’s leadership, the Center has become a conduit for advocacy groups to connect with key decision-makers in Congress, federal agencies, and the medical industry. By offering expertise in FDA strategy, public-private partnerships, policy briefings, and media outreach, the Center helps these groups influence healthcare policy in profound and lasting ways. Through these efforts, the Center is helping to create an ecosystem where AI-driven medical technologies can thrive within a supportive regulatory environment, bringing better healthcare to more people.
