Another HIMSS conference is in the books! Even as we walk away with tired feet, we are energized about what the future holds for healthcare – from the sessions we attended to the innovative solutions on the exhibit hall floor, to the conversations we had with forward‑thinking healthcare leaders at our booth.
As we reflect back on the great week, here are some of the top takeaways from our team of AI and healthcare experts: what they observed, the questions we were asked, and what they believe is next in healthcare innovation.
Elton Tavenner, EVP, Chief Technology Officer
“Healthcare leaders at HIMSS are ready to embrace agentic AI because they understand the potential it has to speed up the time it takes for them to extract valuable insights from their data. Right now, access to data is not a challenge. It is the expertise bottleneck – analyst teams are stretched thin and digging through data and dashboards takes time. Expert AI agents can help fix this.”
Michael Crupain, PhD, Chief Medical Officer
“In the very near future people will finally have access to all of their health data and be able to share it easily. On top of this access, AI tools will be layered on to organize it, interpret it, discover patterns, and make it actionable, which will enable the healthcare ecosystem to shift to a true culture of prevention first.”
David Hutton – SVP, Healthcare IT & Software Engineering
“Healthcare leaders are looking for deeper insights. Today dashboards can provide an overview, but they often raise more questions and require additional digging to uncover answers that drive action. With agentic AI—especially agents’ purpose‑built for healthcare—there’s a new opportunity to get to those answers faster.”
As our experts have shared, the future of healthcare innovation is bright, and we’re excited to be a part of it. We look forward to seeing everyone again soon! If you did not get a chance to connect with us at HIMSS, schedule a meeting with our team today.
