AVVA Mobility’s initial seed funding fueled the development of Drive AVVA where this proof-of-concept mobility subscription offering combines a new vehicle with bundled services such as insurance, extended warranty, and ongoing vehicle maintenance. The success of this pilot informed AVVA Mobility’s comprehensive platform, offering enterprise clients tools for efficient program management – from its innovative applicant origination and underwriting processes to fleet management and telematics systems creating a one-of-a-kind consumer experience.

Following the successful debut at MOVE America, AVVA Mobility is now in active conversations with several OEMs and mobility providers, exploring potential partnerships and pilot programs.

The leadership team, comprised of Matt Murphy, newly appointed President, previously the COO at Drive AVVA, and Beth Wilson, Chief Product Officer, also previously CPO at Drive AVVA, brings a fresh perspective to the automotive industry, combining deep SaaS and subscription expertise with automotive know-how. With over 25 years of experience in enterprise software and technology consulting, including projects for Fortune 50 clients, the team is uniquely positioned to drive innovation in this space.

“Our platform is a game-changer rapidly gaining recognition as a disruptive force in the automotive industry,” said Matt Murphy, President of AVVA Mobility. “We’ve proven that the unit metrics for subscription-based vehicle access can be profitable while meeting the evolving needs of consumers. We’re seeing strong interest from manufacturers and mobility providers eager to tap into this market quickly and efficiently.”

The Series A funding will be used to scale the technology and deploy it with OEM and mobility providers, further solidifying AVVA Mobility’s position as a leader in the automotive subscription space.

“The automotive industry has shown a clear appetite for innovation,” stated Beth Wilson, CPO of AVVA Mobility. “Drawing from my 25+ years of experience in Product Engineering and User Experience, including a decade at Match.com, we’ve created a platform that allows OEMs and mobility providers to offer flexible, subscription-based services without overhauling their existing infrastructure. The positive response we’ve received demonstrates the industry’s eagerness to expand their customer base and build lasting relationships in an increasingly dynamic market.”

“The enthusiastic reception at MOVE America and the subsequent discussions with industry leaders have validated our approach,” added Murphy. “We’re excited to be at the forefront of this transformation, working closely with OEMs and mobility providers, and powered in part by Deloitte to reshape the future of vehicle access.”

Enhancing Patient Care and Operational Efficiency in Healthcare With LLM Solutions: New Blueprint From Info-Tech Research Group

Published

on

By

Info-Tech Research Group’s new blueprint outlines strategic approaches for healthcare IT leaders to effectively navigate the AI vendor landscape, enabling the adoption of large language models (LLMs) that enhance patient care, optimize operations, and drive better healthcare outcomes. By offering critical insights into vendor selection and comprehensive evaluation criteria, the firm’s resource empowers organizations to effectively tackle key challenges and minimize the risks associated with adopting generative AI solutions.

TORONTO, Oct. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ – Healthcare leaders are under increasing pressure to adopt AI technologies that can enhance patient care, streamline operations, and drive better outcomes. They are further challenged to effectively navigate the complex and crowded AI vendor space while evaluating various features and mitigating risks. To help healthcare leaders meet the demanding needs and expectations of the industry, Info-Tech Research Group has published its latest blueprint, Explore Healthcare Enterprise Large Language Model Solutions. The new resource provides IT leaders in the healthcare industry with the tools and insights necessary for assessing AI capabilities, ensuring strategic adoption, and ultimately improving healthcare outcomes through effective LLM solutions.

“The advent of generative AI (Gen AI) solutions, driven by the recent surge in AI capabilities, has sparked considerable interest among healthcare organizations and vendors,” says Sharon Auma-Ebanyat, research director at Info-Tech Research Group. “The healthcare Gen AI field is rapidly advancing, with many vendors claiming that their AI features can tackle healthcare challenges. However, this market saturation complicates the process of navigating potential vendors and determining desired features.”

Info-Tech’s latest resource for the healthcare industry highlights that healthcare IT leaders must access detailed insights into LLM features that can provide real value while addressing key pain points. However, they must contend with the challenges organizations face in navigating an increasingly saturated AI vendor landscape, where every vendor promises solutions to healthcare’s most pressing issues. These obstacles are further exacerbated by the difficulty of adopting generative AI solutions due to budget constraints and the absence of clear strategic frameworks in the industry. The resource underscores that many vendors fail to align their AI tools with the specific operational needs of healthcare institutions, making implementation, configuration, and support more challenging.

In the blueprint, the firm also addresses the privacy risks posed by the data used to train LLMs, which often includes sensitive personal patient information. When used in biomedical applications, LLMs can further pose privacy concerns, as they may have access to detailed patient characteristics.

To guide healthcare IT leaders in tackling the challenges of vendor selection, Info-Tech’s Explore Healthcare Enterprise Large Language Model Solutions outlines three key steps:

Step 1: Understand key use cases that align with the organization’s objectives, patient needs, and the unique challenges of LLMs.Step 2: Develop weighted evaluation criteria to assess vendors, ensuring they align with the organization’s needs and responsible AI practices.Step 3: Assess and review AI features and key vendor offerings.

Info-Tech’s comprehensive resource equips healthcare IT leaders with essential insights to navigate the complex AI vendor landscape. By effectively leveraging LLMs, healthcare professionals can make more informed decisions, improve diagnoses and treatment plans, and deliver value through cost savings, revenue optimization, and operational efficiency. Designed to support the adoption of AI solutions, Info-Tech’s blueprint helps IT leaders enhance both patient and clinician experiences, accelerating digital transformation and driving better healthcare outcomes.
