AI-native digital CROs, chronic conditions, oncology venture studio and more!
Healthcare through a Kentucky lens. Yeah, it's niche. But neat!

Fully 🏀.
Bessemer’s State of Health AI 2026
This part; “Prediction 7: New Age digital CROs crack pharma's R&D trilemma — cost, speed, competition.”
Pretty interesting, Kentucky Chapter of the Association of Clinical Research Professionals. Seems like that is an area where the Commonwealth could participate.
Chronic Conditions in the United States
FAIR Health released this white paper on February 2, 2026. “The number of chronic conditions per patient per year drove healthcare spending.”
Chronic physical conditions and mental disorders often co-occur, further driving up costs.
Redesign Health
“Its startup portfolio includes DUOS, AI-powered tech to support older adults…” The Aging Innovation Fund managed by Castellan Group co-led NYC-based DUOS’ 2023 $10M round.
I wonder if Redesign’s CEO, Brett Shaheen, is related to the Shaheen family that owns Shaheen’s? Anyone know?
AccelerOnc
“AccelerOnc Studio is the first venture studio in the United States solely dedicated to oncology innovation.” Pretty cool.
You know, aging is the largest risk factor for the development of cancer.
VR for screening
“In conclusion, this systematic review supports the effectiveness and clinical feasibility of immersive VR-based cognitive assessments for the early detection of neurodegenerative disorders.”
Yeah.
