ORLANDO, FL, October 27, 2026. Consig, the outbound patient voice AI engine for EHR and practice management platforms, has been named one of ten finalists in the AIMed26 Shark Tank Competition. Consig will pitch on stage at AIMed26, the AI in Medicine conference, which runs November 11 to 13 at the Renaissance Orlando at SeaWorld.
The Shark Tank is AIMed's startup pitch competition. The competition's judges chose the ten finalists from this year's applicants, and each will pitch on stage on Thursday, November 12. RJ Burnham, Co-Founder and CEO, will present for Consig. Consig entered in the AI for Clinical and Operational Use category.
Consig's pitch is about the patient phone call that never connects. Discharge follow-up, recall and pre-visit intake all depend on reaching the patient, and most outreach fails before the conversation starts. The number is unbranded or flagged as spam, the call lands at the wrong hour, or nobody can verify who picked up. Consig is built from the telephony layer up to fix that. It keeps every call within HIPAA, TCPA, and the rules of the state it lands in, and hands the call to a nurse or coordinator when it needs a person.
"AIMed is where the clinicians and health system leaders who run patient outreach come to decide which AI is ready for their patients. That is exactly the room we want to be in," said RJ Burnham, Co-Founder and CEO of Consig. "Every outreach program in healthcare, from discharge follow-up to recall, depends on a call the patient actually answers. We're grateful to the judges for the chance to make that case on the AIMed stage."
Consig will also exhibit in the Shark Tank Startup Zone earlier that day.
Orlando is home for Consig. The company joined the inaugural cohort of the Plug and Play Health Accelerator in Orlando in 2025, and in August presented at the Plug and Play Health Innovation Lounge during AIMed's "AI in Healthcare" special event at the GuideWell Innovation Center.
AIMed was founded by Dr. Anthony Chang, MD, MBA, MPH, MS. Learn more about AIMed26 at https://www.aimed26.com/.
