This year's J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference brought a slew of news announcements — from acquisitions to partnerships to new products and more. This list compiles short summaries for six of the event’s most notable announcements.
At JPM, Nvidia unveiled partnerships with Eli Lilly, Thermo Fisher and others that show how the chipmaker is pushing its AI beyond models and into the core infrastructure of drug discovery and research labs. The moves highlight Nvidia’s ambitions to become a foundational technology provider for the pharma industry.
Agentic AI is emerging as “hireable” digital labor in healthcare, according to Nvidia’s Kimberly Powell. She argued that once health system leaders stop viewing AI as software and start treating it as a workforce asset, the technology could rapidly reduce burnout and expand access to care.
Nvidia has quietly become one of the most influential players in healthcare technology by supplying the accelerated computing and AI infrastructure that powers everything from imaging to drug discovery. The company’s restraint — focusing on enabling the ecosystem rather than owning it — has helped cement its role as the indispensable backbone of the healthcare industry’s AI transformation.

Healthcare organizations are starting to implement AI agents — autonomous, task-specific systems designed to perform functions with little or no human intervention. While initial adoption is focused mainly on non-clinical areas like scheduling and prior authorizations, experts predict that AI agents could eventually play a role in clinical decision-making, provided they meet rigorous safety and reliability standards.
At JPM25, Nvidia announced four new partnerships focused on scaling AI models across the healthcare industry. The company is teaming up with Mayo Clinic, Illumina, IQVIA and Arc Institute.
Here are nine notable announcements shared at the HLTH conference held this week in Las Vegas.
At RSNA 2023, Nvidia launched new set of cloud-based APIs designed to speed up the creation and deployment of specialized AI models in the medical imaging field. The new offering is a cloud-native extension to Nvidia's Monai framework, which is its open-source framework for medical imaging AI.
Small practices play a critical role in healthcare delivery, but they cannot continue to absorb ever-increasing administrative demands without consequences.
Nvidia’s investment isn’t just working capital for Recursion Pharmaceuticals’ technology-driven drug discovery research. Recursion says it will get more computing power as well as the possibility of joining forces with Nvidia in research.
Nvidia and Medtronic recently announced a collaboration focused on embedding AI into medical devices. The two companies plan to create marketplace for AI applications that will allow developers and clinicians to develop their own algorithms to use on Medtronic’s medical devices.
A collaboration between Nvidia and startup Evozyne was able to produce novel versions of a human protein never before seen in nature but with enhanced function and the same safety as native protein. The research lays the groundwork for potential new therapies for a rare inherited disorder.
Nvidia unveiled new tools designed to make it easier for hospitals to integrate AI models related to medical imaging into their clinical workflows. The tools have been adopted by major cloud infrastructure providers, as well as healthcare providers and AI software companies. Some of these include Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, University of California San Francisco, England’s National Health Service and Qure.ai.
Google Cloud unveiled a new product suite to make medical imaging data more interoperable and useful via artificial intelligence. Hackensack Meridian Health has begun using it to detect metastasis in prostate cancer patients earlier, and Hologic is using it to strengthen its diagnostic platform that screens women for cervical cancer.
