Atlanta, GA – April 6, 2020 – Jvion, a leader in clinical AI, announced today that Jay Deady, former CEO of Recondo (acquired by Waystar) and Awarepoint (now part of CenTrak), will succeed founder Shantanu Nigam as Jvion’s Chief Executive Officer.

“AI is transforming healthcare. Shantanu and his fellow co-founders have done an excellent job building a team and developing the technology to accelerate that transformation,” said Jay. “Jvion has achieved incredible results in advancing clinical AI that can impact patient lives, augment clinical decisioning and lower the costs of care. The company is uniquely positioned as a result of its ability to deliver both predictive to prescriptive insights and real-time interventions within existing clinical workflows. It was an easy decision to join this amazing team, and I look forward to championing Jvion as it leads the next wave of clinical AI adoption.”

Shantanu has led Jvion since 2010, when he founded the company to address the pervasive problem of preventable patient harm. His passion for AI and building innovative teams has led Jvion from a startup to the market leader in clinical AI, with the Jvion AI CORE deployed in about 50 health systems and over 300 hospitals across the country. As Executive Chairman of the Board, Shantanu will continue to influence Jvion’s direction as he finds new avenues to champion the use of AI in healthcare.

In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, Jay joins Jvion during a turbulent time for healthcare. As CEO, he will lead Jvion’s ongoing efforts to support hospitals and providers through the crisis.
