AI is driving innovation at an unprecedented pace and optimizing workflows in ways we couldn’t imagine. With this innovation and optimization comes more risk and threats,
further exposing vulnerabilities while creating new ones.

And when it comes to healthcare, the innovation, delivering faster and better patient care while also working to reduce the high administrative costs has exponential potential. Yet, healthcare is riddled with data breaches, clunky technology and disparate guidance and oversight. This dynamic, compounded by a multitude of other factors, makes innovating and adopting AI in healthcare near impossible.
We started Vitea (pronounced Vie-tee-uh) with a clear purpose: to help health systems embrace the transformative power of AI—safely, responsibly and with confidence. And with this promise comes complexity: multiple vendors, evolving technologies, and heightened security risks. Traditional governance models simply can’t keep pace.
At Vitea, we are on a mission to create a future where every health system can confidently adopt AI—knowing that every AI service and application, every interaction and every decision is governed and monitored by dynamic, real-time oversight. Vitea acts as your AI traffic control system, providing a single pane of glass visibility across your entire AI ecosystem, including shadow AI. From registering and validating agents to monitoring, governing, and benchmarking performance, our platform provides end-to-end governance that adapts as your AI evolves.
Healthcare technology leaders deserve more than static PDFs and manual policies. They need continuous governance that evolves with technology—and that’s exactly what Vitea provides.
Our mission is simple yet profound: to enable healthcare organizations to unlock the full potential of AI while protecting patients, preserving trust and ensuring compliance. We believe innovation should never come at the expense of safety or transparency.
Thank you for joining us on this journey. Together, we can transform healthcare with AI—safely, responsibly and for the benefit of every patient.
