White House – July 23, 2025

“Today, a new frontier of scientific discovery lies before us, defined by transformative technologies such as artificial intelligence… Breakthroughs in these fields have the potential to reshape the global balance of power, spark entirely new industries, and revolutionize the way we live and work. As our global competitors race to exploit these technologies, it is a national security imperative for the United States to achieve and maintain unquestioned and unchallenged global technological dominance. To secure our future, we must harness the full power of American innovation.”

Donald J. Trump 45th and 47th President of the United States

Washington just put its cards on the table. America’s AI Action Plan is not a think tank whitepaper. It is a build order. It is a signal that the U.S. is ready to remove friction, inject resources, and create the conditions for private companies to take AI from labs into industries that have been stuck in 2009. If you are building for healthcare, especially post-acute care, this is a moment to pay attention. Not because policy will “someday” create change. Because it is already writing in the rulebook that the first movers can use to take market share and monetize now.

1. Sandboxes for the Slowest Adopters Regulatory sandboxes and AI Centers of Excellence mean you can deploy and test in healthcare without waiting for the glacier to move. The government wants domain-specific pilots in healthcare, and they want results shared. That is a license to run proof-of-value projects with real operational data without the usual 18-month legal chokehold.

Play: Position your tech as the AI pilot the government just described. Be the founder who can show “post-acute adoption” before your competitor is even done with procurement paperwork.

2. Compute and Data Without Hyperscaler Handcuffs The plan calls for open-weight AI models, better market access to compute, and public release of high-quality datasets from federally funded research. Translation: You will get cheaper training cycles, less vendor lock-in, and potentially access to healthcare-relevant datasets without paying six figures for licensing.

Play: Build and fine-tune models that live inside provider firewalls, run lean, and leverage emerging public datasets for faster iteration.

3. Standards That Set the Buyer’s Mind at Ease NIST will convene stakeholders to create national AI standards in healthcare. If you align your product now, you will be the “standards-compliant” choice the moment procurement teams start adding that requirement to RFPs.

Play: Get ahead of compliance. Let your competitors retrofit while you collect the contracts.

4. Workforce Pull Instead of Pushback The plan funds AI literacy for frontline workers and incentivizes upskilling. That means operators will have a reason to try AI tools instead of seeing them as job threats. In an industry that is notorious for clinging to fax machines, this is a cultural shift you can ride.

Play: Package your AI not as a disruptor of staff but as the “co-pilot” that helps them hit their metrics faster.

5. Infrastructure That Removes Excuses Data centers, grid capacity, and chip manufacturing are getting national-level investment. That means fewer “we do not have the infrastructure” stall tactics from enterprise buyers. The backend is being built whether they are ready or not.

Play: Sell as if the capacity is already here because it will be by the time you scale.

The Bottom Line for Founders This is not about waiting for policy to trickle down. The door is open now to test, prove, and lock in early customers in sectors that normally take years to move. In post-acute care, that is a chance to be the founder who does not just sell software. You reset the baseline for what “operationally ready” looks like. Move early, align with the national playbook, and take the contracts your competitors do not even know are in play yet.
