Your Team Is Already Using AI. The Question Is Whether You're Ready.
Right now, someone on your team is pasting proprietary information into ChatGPT. An engineer summarizing design requirements. A regulatory specialist drafting a 510(k) section. They're not doing anything malicious—they're trying to move faster.
But without governance, that speed creates risk. And without a strategy, you're leaving the real gains on the table.
The Opportunity You're Missing
MedTech companies with clear AI governance aren't just avoiding risk—they're pulling ahead:
Faster documentation cycles. Teams using AI with proper guardrails are compressing writing efforts by 20-30%.
Better technical decisions. AI-assisted analysis of standards, predicate devices, and clinical literature—done right—gives your engineers leverage they've never had.
Faster product delivery. AI is helping early-stage startup founders in my network reduce 3-6 month projects to 2-3 week projects.
Defensible IP. When you know what's going into AI tools and what's coming out, you can protect what matters and document human contribution.
Audit-ready processes. The companies building governance now won't scramble when FDA guidance drops. They'll already be compliant.
The question isn't whether to use AI. It's whether you'll use it deliberately—or let it surprise you in an audit.
The Risk of Doing Nothing
Without a strategy, AI adoption happens anyway—just without your oversight:
- Proprietary data flowing into tools you don't control
- AI-generated content accumulating in your DHF without documentation
- Competitors moving faster while you deliberate
- Less efficient or ineffective AI use
A top US cybersecurity official uploaded sensitive documents to ChatGPT. Samsung engineers leaked source code three times in one month. If they can make this mistake, your team can too.
The Offering
- An online survey for your entire team to set the baseline
- A half-day workshop with you and your senior leaders (typically 2-3)
- A one-hour followup meeting a month after the workshop
About Your Facilitator
John Knox is an investor, mentor, and technology leader with 25 years of experience in seven industries. He's helped ship new technology like the first x86-64 CPUs, early iPhone apps like Evernote and Skitch, distributed sensor systems like Prevent Biometrics, and Class III medical devices. He's mentored 200+ founders and organized the MedTech Summit series, bringing together experienced operators to share hard-won lessons.
Today, he's using AI daily to build production software, conduct deep technical research, and accelerate the kind of work MedTech teams do every day — so the guidance in this workshop comes from hands-on practice, not theory.
The Workshop
A private, half-day working session for you and your senior leaders. No generic AI hype—concrete outputs you can implement.
You'll leave with:
A clear picture of your current state. What tools your team is using, what data has been shared, and where you're exposed.
A 90-day roadmap. Prioritized actions based on your regulatory pathway and competitive situation.
Ready-to-use assets. Draft AI policy, documentation requirements, and training framework.
Leadership alignment. Your senior team, working through the hard questions together.
This isn't about locking down AI. It's about unlocking it—on your terms.
