About Larry Sitka

Healthcare AI & VNA Pioneer | PACS Strategist | Founder | Market Execution Leader | PatientInnovative executive leader with 35+ years driving transformation in Vendor Neutral Archive (VNA/VNAi), PACS, AI inferencing agentics, and enterprise imaging platforms. As founder of Acuo Technologies, I helped shift an entire industry by championing interoperability, data mobility, and future-ready imaging ecosystems—long before they were mainstream following the ONC \"Interoperability Roadmap\" for a Learning Health System.My focus: building and scaling AI-augmented imaging platforms that bridge clinical relevance with technical excellence while merging human/clinical workflows with data/machine workflows. I specialize in taking ideas from concept to commercialization—growing zero-to-$100M+ pipelines, aligning product strategy with market demand, and translating complex technology into real-world clinical, operational, and financial value.I’ve led product and business innovation through:• Architecting VNAi platforms that support edge-based AI inferencing agentics• Scaling AI to serve the next clinical and machine users, not just early adopters• Delivering precision tools built for the Learning Health System era• Aligning with ONC, DICOM 3.0, DICOM 2025, DICOMweb, FHIR, and IHE standards to ensure real-world interoperability• Understanding many nuances and lack of conformity in DICOM, HL7 by contributing to the DIOCM Standard and implemented it 3 separate times along side an HL7 integration engine. I bring a proven ability to: • Listen to the clinical base and turn pain points into scalable solutions • Translate technical depth into executive clarity—for CIOs, investors, and clinicians • Lead cross-functional teams across engineering, sales, and product to deliver outcomes • Define a vision, drive the vision through R&D all based on market driven requirements. • Sell and position with integrity and characterEveryone’s talking about PACS + VNA + AI. Few have built it. Fewer have scaled it. Even fewer have sold it effectively. I’ve done all three—and I’m focused on what’s next.As healthcare redefines itself around data, intelligence, and patient-centered design, I’m here to help organizations deliver platforms that truly make a difference—because we’re all patients in the end.Let’s connect and shape what comes next in AI-powered healthcare.
