Why it matters: - Mentavi Health is positioning itself in a broader conversation about how regulated industries can use AI without sacrificing compliance, oversight or trust. - The Tech Week Grand Rapids panels put health care, insurance, diagnostics, marketing and compliance leaders in the same room to discuss practical guardrails for AI adoption.
