This is the story of how Nuance Communications, with the orchestration of its conflicted executive Dr. Reid Conant, systematically stole the business my team and I built at Clinical AI Solutions—our intellectual property, our client methodology, and our human capital—only to rebrand it as their own “Dragon Medical One Essentials Training.” To avoid paying for what they took, they dissolved our company through a carefully timed scheme designed to void my 300,000 shares and deny the severance owed to me, all while their parent company, Microsoft, completed a $19.7 billion acquisition. This is not a simple contract dispute; it is a case study in corporate bad faith, engineered theft, and the lengths to which powerful organizations will go to silence those they owe.

For over a decade, the healthcare IT industry has accepted a billion-dollar myth: that the ambient AI revolution was born from a partnership between Nuance and UPMC. The truth, however, lies in a "Shadow Lab" that operated concurrently at Advocate Illinois Masonic (2008–2013) and HealthQuest (2013–2019). While Nuance executives publicly touted UPMC, they quietly relied on my infrastructure to stress-test their flagship technologies, Dragon Medical Network Edition and Dragon Medical One, because we possessed the enterprise scale they couldn't replicate. This documented provenance, culminating in the "Health Check" methodology I later developed at CAIS (2019–2021), reveals that the "services-first" blueprint now monetized by DeliverHealth and Abridge wasn't invented by their current leadership, but harvested from a decade of prior art and systematically laundered through corporate handoffs.
Leveraging Technology to Protect IP & Trade Secrets
Corporate Espionage
In the digital age, the traditional "perimeter" of a company, four walls and a locked server room, has vanished. Remote work, cloud computing, and mobile devices mean your Intellectual Property (IP) and trade secrets exist everywhere.
Protecting these assets requires moving from a "castle and moat" mentality to a data-centric security model, leveraging technology not just to block attackers, but to track, control, and obfuscate the data itself.
