New startup Vega Health seeks to help health systems succeed with AI

Healthcare deserves AI that solves real problems, demonstrates tangible value, and scales quickly.

Vega Health launched with $4 million in seed funding to address the challenge that 95% of enterprise AI projects fail to show measurable ROI. Founded by Duke Health's Dr. Mark Sendak, the company offers a curated marketplace of validated AI tools, implements them in healthcare settings, and monitors their performance to ensure they deliver value. Vega also helps commercialize effective homegrown models developed by health systems and academic medical centers, providing distribution channels for innovations that would otherwise remain siloed.
