SpringTide Wave Summit Reimagines the Future of Healthcare

SpringTide Ventures convened the 2025 Wave Summit on September 18 in Alta, Utah. We were honored to not only partner with SpringTide to design the event, but also to attend and get an exciting glimpse into the future of healthcare.

The Wave Summit is an annual invite-only immersive experience that brings together the top 100 leaders in healthcare to explore pivotal technology, regulatory shifts, and emerging innovation models. The Summit serves as a forum for industry leaders to connect with peers to shape the future of health.

Summit keynote speakers explored:

  • Urgency: A rare policy alignment window exists; failing to act risks a decade of stagnation.

  • Data & AI: Clean, structured data is the linchpin for usable AI in healthcare.

  • Consumer Power: Patients are demanding convenience, transparency, and preventive solutions—often outside traditional systems.

  • Systemic Redesign: Payment, value, and integration models must shift to unlock real innovation.

  • Global Lessons: Scalable, affordable innovation is possible, but requires reimagining entrenched U.S. assumptions.
