Patients + Innovators are the Future.

Health care is undergoing a seismic shift driven in part by AI and digital innovation. Patient insights, experiences, and outcomes are key to the shape and success of this revolution.

PXI: Patient Experience + Innovation Center is your patient-powered edge. 

As the National Health Council’s (NHC) resource for patient partnership in health AI and technology, PXI connects patients and innovators to promote the responsible, equitable, trustworthy, and transformative use of AI, digital health, and technology.

PXI ensures that any activity aimed at shaping the future of health care by leveraging   health AI, digital health, and other technologies – from research to diagnosis to treatment from access and efficiency to policy and practice – reflects the realities and priorities of patients and their caregivers.

“PXI is such a great platform that’s going to help us because it involves the patient voice to make sure that we’re building things for the patient, and with the patient, most importantly, not just deciding what we think the patient needs.”
– Steven Taylor, President and CEO, Arthritis Foundation

Why PXI Now?

As AI reshapes virtually every aspect of health care, full and meaningful patient engagement is essential. Anything less risks eroding trust, worsening disparities, and missing the true potential of these technologies to improve lives. Industry leaders are increasingly embracing patient expertise across the innovation life cycle to accelerate discovery, enhance design, access markets, and optimize investment. They recognize that this synergy – early, upfront and long-term – is strategic and fit for business purposes.

PXI serves as the national resource to:

    • Elevate patient experience as a driver of health technology innovation and outcomes
    • Build trust and facilitate connection between patients and innovators
    • Accelerate responsible, patient-informed development and adoption of AI and technology.
