Our Edwardsville CEO students got an incredible look at that idea in action during our visit with Brian Rudd and Megan Shanahan of RapidAI!

Brian and Megan showed our students how RapidAI is using artificial intelligence to help medical teams analyze brain scans and make faster, more informed decisions when treating strokes and other critical conditions.

But this wasn't just a lesson in healthcare or technology. It was a lesson in BUSINESS.

Brian and Megan pulled back the curtain on sales, competition, pricing, customer relationships, career paths, and what it takes to bring innovative technology into hospitals around the world.

Perhaps the biggest takeaway for our students:
