Rebecca Love, RN, MSN, FIEL
Founder, Nurse Approved · Co-founder, SONSIEL
Rebecca is one of the most recognized voices in nursing innovation in the world. She founded Nurse Approved, a platform built on the belief that nurses should lead the evaluation of products and technology entering their profession — including AI. She has worked closely with leading AI companies bringing technology into healthcare, and has been deeply engaged in the intersection of AI and nursing for years. She co-founded SONSIEL, a nursing nonprofit recognized by the United Nations, and made history as the first nurse ever featured on TED.com. Named one of Modern Healthcare's most influential people in healthcare, she's been covered by Forbes, Fortune, the BBC, and ABC News. Rebecca has spent her career making sure nurses aren't just watching healthcare change — they're building it.
Zach Smith
Co-founder & CEO, GownCard · Former bedside RN
Zach started at the bedside and has been building technology for nurses since 2015, when he co-created NurseGrid, the number one nurse scheduling app in the nation. He is the co-founder and CEO of GownCard, an AI-powered platform for operating room teams that digitizes surgical knowledge and streamlines how OR staff work. He has used AI to design and build websites and tools that real people use today — and he brings that hands-on experience directly into the classroom. He knows firsthand what gets left on the table when nurses aren't in the room — and what becomes possible when they are.
