Podcasts about Interoperability

Jon Kol, founder of Hyperlane, joins Sam Kamani to dive deep into one of crypto's biggest challenges—interoperability. From his days at Morgan Stanley to building Hyperlane, Jon shares how they're enabling any chain to communicate with any other through permissionless, modular frameworks. He explains why monolithic architectures can't scale, how modular security flips the bridge security model, and why interchain accounts will redefine how users interact with Web3. If you're building across chains, this episode is a must-listen.Key Timestamps[00:00:00] Introduction: Sam introduces Jon Kol and the mission of Hyperlane—interoperability for every chain.[00:01:00] Early Crypto Days: Jon shares his Bitcoin and Ethereum rabbit hole moment at Morgan Stanley.[00:03:00] From Wall Street to Web3: Why he left traditional finance to help rebuild the internet of value.[00:06:00] Why Hyperlane: The realization that one chain can't serve global finance—and the need for scalable communication.[00:08:00] Building Blocks: The philosophy behind Hyperlane and how it differs from LayerZero, Cosmos, etc.[00:10:00] Modular Interoperability: Any chain, any VM—Hyperlane can connect them all.[00:12:00] Security First: How Hyperlane's modular security avoids the “one breach risks all” trap.[00:14:00] Defense in Depth: Let developers stack their own security modules and future-proof integrations.[00:18:00] Use Cases: From DeFi bridges to governance, interchain AMMs, and yield routing via Superform.[00:22:00] Interchain Accounts: Why the future is one wallet, infinite access—regardless of chain or VM.[00:26:00] The Stablecoin Pain Point: Fragmentation across chains and the case for gasless, one-click stablecoin transfers.[00:30:00] Lessons Learned: What Jon would do differently—don't wait for others, build use cases in-house.[00:34:00] 2025 Vision: Interoperability becomes invisible—users stay on one chain, access anything cross-chain.[00:36:00] The Ask: Hyperlane is hiring builders who want to fix fragmentation and unlock Web3's next layer.Connecthttps://hyperlane.xyz/https://x.com/hyperlanehttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jon-kol-4bb37a9b/https://x.com/thepalenimbusDisclaimerNothing mentioned in this podcast is investment advice and please do your own research.

Are bridges the answer, or can we do better?In this show, we discuss:- The ideal conditions for use of Blockchain technology- The current technologies and maturity of 'interoperability'- Enterprise use cases Dr. Zhang is most excited about- The role and importance of organisations like EEA and Linux Foundation in driving adoption- What more is needed to see widespread usage of Blockchain technology

Yoann Vandendriessche, Group Chief Product Officer, Intix & NetGuardiansThe payments sector is facing its biggest transformation in a decade. Traditional models are no longer sustainable, and firms need to rethink their strategies, harness real-time transaction data and look to more adaptive infrastructures. Indeed, real-time payments will become the norm, likely to reach 27% of all global payments by 2028. At the same time, growing fraud and compliance burdens are forcing a rethink of data strategies. Robin Amlôt of IBS Intelligence speaks to Yoann Vandendriessche, Group Chief Product Officer of Intix and NetGuardians.

Join Laszlo Szabo, CEO & Co-Founder of Kiln, for a conversation with Adam Levine, SVP of Corporate Development & Partnerships and CEO of Fireblocks Trust Company.In this episode, Adam shares insights into Fireblocks' strategic expansion into regulated custody, explaining why they launched their New York-based trust company, how it serves institutional clients like VCs and market makers, and the operational challenges of balancing innovation with compliance.The discussion dives into the role of stablecoins in global payments, with real-world examples from emerging markets like Brazil and Argentina, where dollar-denominated stablecoins are mitigating currency volatility and accelerating cross-border transactions. Adam also unpacks Fireblocks' vision for tokenization—from traditional assets like T-bills to unconventional ones like investment-grade wine—and how interoperability between blockchains will unlock liquidity in the years ahead.Security remains a cornerstone of the conversation, as Adam reflects on lessons from high-profile hacks (including the recent Bybit incident) and how Fireblocks' infrastructure prioritizes risk mitigation without compromising efficiency. Looking forward, he predicts 2025 will be a year of decisive action for banks and asset managers, with stablecoins and tokenization moving from pilot projects to core infrastructure—even if the full impact may take years to materialize.PODCAST INFO:

Jon Kol is a Co-founder at Hyperlane, the open interoperability framework to connect anywhere onchain. Why you should listen Hyperlane is the “open interoperability framework” that lets any blockchain—whether an L1, rollup, app‑chain, or VM—talk to any other, permissionlessly. Think of it as the universal plumbing for cross‑chain apps, assets, and arbitrary messages, already live on 140+ chains and five VMs. At its core, Hyperlane uses Mailbox contracts on each chain as send/receive endpoints. When you dispatch a message, it's slotted into a Merkle tree; off‑chain relayers pick it up, bundle the proof, and submit it to the destination's Mailbox, where it's verified and delivered to your target contract Security is modular thanks to Interchain Security Modules (ISMs). You can choose default multisig sets, compose prebuilt ISMs, or even craft custom ones to suit your risk appetite. That means you decide how many validator signatures you need or even plug in your own validator network—no one‑size‑fits‑all guardrails here Beyond pure messaging, Hyperlane offers Warp Routes—its native, no‑slippage token bridges. Lock your token on Chain A, mint a wrapped version on Chain B, and reverse when you bridge back. All managed by the same mailbox/ISM infrastructure for consistency and security Developers get robust tooling: TypeScript, Python, Rust, Go SDKs, CLI commands, Terraform modules—and an Explorer to track message status. Want interchain accounts? Execute contracts on remote chains from a single signer. Need cross‑VM swaps? Hyperlane's got EVM↔SVM covered. HYPER (the native token) powers staking, validator incentives, governance, and expansion rewards. With a 1 B supply over 25 years and liquid staking via stHYPER, it aligns long‑term builders with protocol security and growth. If you're building the next multi‑chain DeFi, game, or governance tool, quitting the single‑chain mindset starts here.

In the second episode of our special series on recommendations to the Trump administration, Quality Matters host Andy Reynolds welcomes Ryan Howells, Principal at Leavitt Partners, for an illuminating discussion on transforming digital quality and data exchange..Ryan shares fresh ideas from the Leavitt Partners roadmap to reshape digital health infrastructure by embracing scalable, internet-based standards and dismantling policy barriers. At the core of this conversation is that effective data exchange must be powered not only by modern standards, but by trust among people and institutions. Ryan's suggestions include:·   Implementing APIs at scale to reduce manual processes and administrative waste. The same APIs that power everyday apps can streamline data exchange between payers and providers, replacing faxes, phone calls and redundant forms.·   Certifying data exchange—not just software functionality. Instead of dictating how systems are built, federal policy should focus on certifying APIs, allowing EHR vendors the flexibility to innovate while helping ensure that data flows freely.·   Establishing “tables of trust.” Regional collaboration among payers, providers and government agencies can test new digital infrastructure in real-world settings and be the model for national expansion.Digital quality transformation will require more than just tech upgrades—we must rethink relationships, trust and policy levers. Listen to this episode to learn how the Trump administration could support a data-driven revolution in health care quality.Key Quote:“I've been doing this for a long time, almost 30 years. But when I go into my doctor's office and I still have to fill out a clipboard with a piece of paper on it with information I know they already have, it is painful. The best representation of whether we are making progress is, I don't want to ever go into a doctor's office and fill out a clipboard. If I could just not fill out my health history, my demographic information, whether information should be sent to my doctor—if all that is just in the doctor's system—I would say we have made progress. Because at that point it will be real to the individual. Think about it in terms of digitizing all of the health care data and making sure it is with the right person, at the right time, in the right place to make the right decisions. When that happens, we'll know we've made significant progress.” Ryan Howells Time Stamps:(02:27) Why Implementing Health Care APIs is Hard(05:32) Tables of Trust: A Case Study from Utah(07:03) Scaling Trust and Interoperability(13:12) Eliminating Manual Processes (18:23) Solving Diverse Use Cases (19:36) Encouraging Early Adoption of APIsLinks:NCQA Recommendations to the Trump Administration Leavitt Partners Recommendations: “Kill the Clipboard!”Connect with Ryan Howells

Brian Drozdowicz, Senior VP and General Manager for Acute and Payer at PointClickCare, provides a platform using predictive analytics and AI for data sharing and collaboration across healthcare stakeholders. Interoperability has been an ongoing challenge due to the lack of standards and clear governance to support data sharing. The shift to value-based care drives the need for more access to patient data to improve patient outcomes, facilitate care transitions, and reduce readmissions and costs.   Brian explains, "PointClickCare has been a player in the market for quite some time. We're best known for the market-leading senior care EHR that we've had in market for 20-plus years. I run a business unit that sits by the side of that. We refer to that as the acute and payer business. And ultimately, this additional business and value proposition to the market operates the largest care collaboration network, sharing healthcare data across all the different stakeholders, hospitals, health plans, ambulatory clinics, community providers, and connecting is our core business. So we're ultimately in the business of sharing data and doing that safely, securely in a trusted way." "There are a lot of ways of driving adoption and sharing data at scale. I'd call out a couple of key areas in which we've seen a lot of progress in recent years. First is having well-established technology standards that safely and securely transmit that data. Number Two is having to share that data. So, otherwise, it's a bunch of data flowing back and forth just for the sake of data. And that doesn't solve anything with value-based care. Putting a set of guardrails in place requires providers and payers to work together with this data." #PointClickCare #HealthcareData #Interoperability #MedAI #DataSilos #ValueBasedCare #VBC  pointclickcare.com Download the transcript here

In this episode of The Dish on Health IT, host Tony Schueth and payer interoperability expert Kendra Obrist sit down with Rob Alger, SVP of Health Plan Technology at Kaiser Permanente, for a candid and sweeping conversation about payer interoperability, AI, FHIR, and the realities of health IT innovation at scale.Rob kicks things off by discussing Kaiser Permanente's unique care and coverage model, highlighting how it streamlines internal coordination and shapes investment priorities. He notes that, unlike many other health plans, Kaiser's vertically integrated structure allows for fewer administrative hurdles, particularly in areas like prior authorization.The conversation then turns to CMS-0057. While Rob acknowledges Kaiser must comply like everyone else, the regulation presents less of a lift for them due to their internal alignment. That said, both he and Kendra agree: the success of any interoperability initiative hinges on provider adoption, and that remains uncertain.Looking ahead to 2025, Rob shares Kaiser's strategic focus on simplifying healthcare experiences, especially by leveraging AI to remove friction from both clinical and administrative processes. One standout example is their ambient listening tool from Abridge, now rolled out across 40 hospitals and 600 medical offices, which is allowing clinicians to focus more on patients than keyboards. It's one of the fastest clinical tech adoptions Rob's ever seen.Naturally, the discussion shifts to FHIR. Rob puts it plainly: “FHIR is non-negotiable.” Regulatory mandates have solidified its role, but he wonders whether the industry will eventually want to use FHIR or continue reacting to policy. Kendra and Tony weigh in, noting signs of growing pull once organizations recognize the potential. They agree that multi-stakeholder efforts like Da Vinci Project and FHIR at Scale Taskforce (FAST) are helping to build real-world traction by solving for shared use cases.When asked why Kaiser stays engaged in these initiatives, Rob makes it clear it's about shaping standards early, staying ahead of the curve, and making smarter, future-proof decisions, especially when it comes to vendor selection.The episode then revisits AI, with Rob outlining Kaiser's guiding principles: human in the loop, bias mitigation, and responsible governance. He explains that while Kaiser isn't trying to build every tool themselves, they aim to be excellent adopters, using AI to free up clinicians and call center reps to operate at the top of their license. It's less about chatbots and more about smarter workflows, ambient data capture, and preserving session context across modalities.Data quality surfaces as a recurring theme. Kendra highlights increasing payer interest in tackling inconsistency and fragmentation. Rob acknowledges Kaiser has an edge due to its standardized EHR system, but insists no one is immune to the challenges, especially when AI is in the mix. As he puts it, “If your data's not clean, you're not going anywhere.”As a member of the Council for Affordable Quality Healthcare (CAQH) board, Rob brings a unique perspective on industry-wide infrastructure and collaboration. He explains that CAQH, originally formed by major health plans to tackle non-competitive operational challenges, has evolved into a key player in both standards development and practical solutions like coordination of benefits and provider directories. That dual focus—advocacy and action—resonates throughout the conversation, especially as Rob underscores the importance of shared investments in foundational infrastructure that lift the entire industry.The discussion then touches more specifically on directories and the potential of shared infrastructure for non-competitive areas of healthcare. Rob emphasizes that while payers care deeply about directory accuracy, the solution likely involves more human accountability than tech alone.In closing, the trio shares their perspectives on under-discussed industry challenges. Rob flags cybersecurity as a growing threat, especially in light of recent ransomware attacks. Kendra and Tony shine a light on consent and pharmacy interoperability, two areas that, while not headline-grabbing, could unlock major gains in care coordination and equity.Rob's parting call to action? It's time for the industry to align on clinical policy. Competing on utilization rules isn't sustainable, and getting consensus on what's appropriate care could help streamline prior auth and improve patient trust.Kendra wraps by urging payers to suspend disbelief and start planning for a world where APIs and data exchange work as intended. Dream a little, and then build accordingly. 

We're on the road to RSAC 2025 — or maybe on a quantum-powered highway — and this time, Sean and I had the pleasure of chatting with someone who's not just riding the future wave, but actually building it.Marc Manzano, General Manager of the Cybersecurity Group at SandboxAQ, joined us for this Brand Story conversation ahead of the big conference in San Francisco. For those who haven't heard of SandboxAQ yet, here's a quick headline: they're a spin-out from Google, operating at the intersection of AI and quantum technologies. Yes — that intersection.But let's keep our feet on the ground for a second, because this story isn't just about tech that sounds cool. It's about solving the very real, very painful problems that security teams face every day.Marc laid out their mission clearly: Active Guard, their flagship platform, is built to simplify and modernize two massive pain points in enterprise security — cryptographic asset management and non-human identity management. Think: rotating certificates without manual effort. Managing secrets and keys across cloud-native infrastructure. Automating compliance reporting for quantum-readiness. No fluff — just value, right out of the box.And it's not just about plugging a new tool into your already overloaded stack. What impressed us is how SandboxAQ sees themselves as the unifying layer — enhancing interoperability across existing systems, extracting more intelligence from the tools you already use, and giving teams a unified view through a single pane of glass.And yes, we also touched on AI SecOps — because as AI becomes a standard part of infrastructure, so must security for it.

The founder and managing director of 123Carbon explains carbon insetting, SAF certificates, and SAF registries. In the news, we look at the Safer Skies Act of 2025, KC-135 Stratotanker service life, Airbus future single-aisle technologies and design, and injuries after a mid-air TCAS alarm sounds. Also, the first COMAC 909 delivery outside China, ATC privatization around the world, security theater, and introducing women to aviation. Guest Jeroen van Heiningen is the founder and managing director of 123Carbon. The company works with fuel suppliers and carriers to issue transparent and externally verified environmental attribute certificates, including SAF certificates, used by airlines and cargo operators to reduce their transport-related Scope 3 emissions. Jeroen discusses the sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) market, focusing on carbon insetting, the role of SAF registries, and the importance of transparency and standardization in the industry. He explains how carbon insetting differs from carbon offsetting, emphasizing the need for companies to invest in their value chain de-carbonization. The discussion also covers the digital certificate process, the collaboration between 123Carbon and IATA, and future trends in the SAF market. 123Carbon's registry is integrated with other IT systems and allows an airline to upload documents and manage its inventory of digital certificates online. It's a multi-modal agnostic platform that can be branded. With the use of sustainable bio-fuel growing in the land and sea modes of transportation, the accounting needs to be integrated with air. 123Carbon recently introduced Carboninsets.com, a free service for forwarders and cargo owners that connects them with issuers on the registry. Jeroen set-up and led Accenture's Sustainability Services Benelux and wrote the CDP NL 50 report in 2010. He has 15 years of experience with multi-modal carbon insetting programs, covering both Air (KLM corporate biofuels Program) and Marine (the GoodShipping Program). He holds a master's in business administration from Tilburg University. Takeaways: Carbon insetting is a more effective long-term approach than offsetting. Companies are increasingly linked to net-zero targets managed by SBTi. (Science Based Targets initiative) Standardization in the SAF market is crucial for transparency. Digital certificates are essential for tracking SAF transactions. Collaboration between registries helps prevent double counting of SAF. The SAF market is evolving with a focus on multimodal transportation. Demand and supply must be connected to stabilize SAF prices. New services like CarbonInsets.com facilitate connections between issuers and buyers. The aviation industry is leading in SAF adoption compared to other transport modes. Future initiatives will focus on integrating various transportation modalities. Resources: ICAO Global Framework for SAF: Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF)  IATA SAF Handbook [PDF] Developing Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). IATA estimates that Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) could contribute around 65% of the reduction in emissions needed by aviation to reach net zero CO2 emissions by 2050. IATA and 123Carbon to Collaborate on Interoperability for SAF Registries. A strategic collaboration to develop interoperability between their respective SAF focusing on three key elements: A unique identifier and alignment of the relevant data points to exchange between registries. A process for the exchange of information to avoid any potential double issuance. A dispute resolution process.  IATA SAF Registry. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) announced that it will establish the SAF Registry to accelerate the uptake of SAF by authoritatively accounting and reporting emissions reductions from SAF. SAFc Registry. Sustainable aviation fuel certificates (SAFc) can help drive demand for sustainable avi...

Editor's Note: Jacob Glassman's comments do not reflect the position of the Department of the Navy and are his own personal views. The Navy's Modular Open Systems Architecture (MOSA) philosophy is designed to enable the service to quickly integrate and prototype emerging technology. As the services adopt MOSA and its service-specific variants, Glassman says the strategy will foster the interchange of systems, support emerging technologies adoption and spur modernization. MOSA 1.0 is the first iteration of the Navy's strategy. The Navy plans to solicit feedback from industry, academia and across the Defense Department as it updates its strategy on an annual basis, fully realizing its vision with its 3.0 plan, according to Glassman.

John Orosco, CEO and Co-Founder of Red Rover Health is focused on interoperability in the healthcare industry and the potential impact of AI and automation in streamlining healthcare processes. The emergence of revised industry-wide standards has helped improve integration, but true ease of data sharing remains elusive. An app store approach and real-time data access are the next steps in the evolution of integration methodologies, allowing providers to access the best solutions and integrate them with the core EMR systems. John elaborates, "The app store concept, which goes back to what I was saying when I started in this industry in 1998, was the approach. It was to pick the best solution regardless of the vendor that solves this departmental workflow need and let's implement the best solution. Well, integration with the core electronic medical record system was so tough and so painful and so ugly that pretty much the entire industry shifted to one vendor of record. They were like, we're just going to select one vendor. We're going to forego and give up feature functionality. We know that other solutions are better, but everything will be integrated. So, the entire industry shifts to one vendor. With the advent of APIs and interoperability becoming less painful, that was the right model." "So an app store helps facilitate this notion that any provider, regardless of where you're in the country, should have access to the best solutions that any of these vendors offer. They should be able to integrate it with the medical record. It shouldn't be up to the EMR vendors, let's say, to dictate which solutions do and don't integrate or that their solutions are the only ones that are available. A true app store concept would open the door for all these great solutions that providers would have access to, and they get to decide which ones they want to implement and use." #RedRoverHealth #HealthcareInnovation #HealthTech #Interoperability #DigitalHealth #HealthIT #AIinHealthcare #SeamlessIntegration redrover.health Download the transcript here

The HIMSS Global Conference brings together healthcare professionals, technology providers, and industry leaders to discuss the most pressing challenges in healthcare. One of the key conversations this year focused on security, risk management, and the role of HITRUST in ensuring trust across the healthcare ecosystem.HITRUST's Expanding Role in Healthcare SecurityRyan Patrick, VP of Adoption at HITRUST, joined the discussion to share insights from the conference floor. One of the most striking takeaways was the sheer scale of engagement—attendance at HIMSS was at an all-time high, reflecting a growing focus on healthcare security and compliance. Organizations across the industry are looking for solutions that support innovation while maintaining security, and HITRUST is at the center of those conversations.A common misconception about HITRUST is that it only provides a single, rigorous cybersecurity assessment. Patrick clarified that HITRUST now offers a tiered approach, including the E1 (entry-level), I1 (intermediate), and R2 (comprehensive) assessments, allowing organizations to align their security and compliance efforts with their level of maturity. The E1 assessment, in particular, has gained rapid adoption as organizations look for a scalable way to demonstrate security and compliance without the complexity of a full certification process.The Role of HITRUST in Third-Party Risk ManagementWith interoperability becoming a priority in healthcare, third-party risk management is a growing concern. Many healthcare organizations work with hundreds—if not thousands—of vendors, and ensuring security across this extended network is critical. Patrick emphasized that HITRUST is not just a cybersecurity framework but a tool for managing third-party risk at scale. HITRUST assessments provide structured, standardized data that can be integrated into risk management platforms, allowing organizations to evaluate their vendors with greater efficiency and confidence.As discussions around security and compliance continue, Patrick encourages healthcare organizations to educate themselves on the full range of HITRUST offerings.

In this episode, I sit down with Hart Lambur, the co-founder of Risk Labs, the team behind UMA and Across Protocol, two projects solving some of the biggest challenges in crypto—cross-chain interoperability and on-chain data verification.Ethereum has scaled, but in the process, it's fragmented into over 50 Layer 2s, creating a messy user experience. Hart and his team are pushing for a cross-chain intent standard (ERC-7683) to make blockchain transactions feel instant and seamless—because let's be real, waiting minutes (or days) to move assets across chains is a joke.We also dive deep into:The “two-second rule” for crypto UX and why speed is kingHow ERC-7683 enables cross-chain swaps without waiting for block confirmationsWhy Ethereum's fragmentation problem could kill adoption if we don't fix itThe future of prediction markets and decentralized oraclesHow Chainlink maintained dominance in the Oracle space—and whether that's changingWhy AI-powered agents will need blockchain-based dispute resolutionIf you're into DeFi, cross-chain tech, and the future of Ethereum, this episode is packed with insights you won't want to miss.Key Takeaways:✅ Ethereum has scaled, but it now feels like 50 separate chains—interoperability must be solved.✅ The two-second UX rule: If a transaction takes longer, users will lose focus and abandon it.✅ ERC-7683 introduces cross-chain intents, allowing instant swaps by having solvers front transactions.✅ Optimistic oracles (used by UMA) enable decentralized dispute resolution, powering prediction markets like PolyMarket.✅ AI agents will need on-chain contract enforcement—blockchain oracles will play a crucial role.Listen & Subscribe:

Maitri is designed as a social infrastructure project that enables interoperability between platforms, allowing for greater connectivity, user control, and shared network effects. Instead of monopolies controlling engagement, they envision a future where smaller, more specialized communities can thrive while remaining interconnected.Community Graphs Offer a More Nuanced Approach to Social Identity – Unlike traditional social graphs that focus on one-to-one relationships, community graphs provide a richer representation of how people engage within groups. These graphs account for the “fuzziness” of social membership, acknowledging that participation in a community is often subjective and context-dependent. This system aims to better reflect how humans naturally form trust and reputations within various groups.Reputation Systems Should Be Positive, Subjective, and Competitive – One of the key challenges in designing digital reputation systems is avoiding the pitfalls of social credit scores. Maitri's approach ensures that reputations are built through private, positive attestations rather than public negative ratings. This system mirrors real-world trust-building, where individuals accumulate credibility over time rather than being permanently defined by past mistakes. Additionally, by allowing multiple reputation frameworks to compete, users maintain agency over how they are evaluated.AI and Automation Will Radically Reshape Online Interaction – With AI-driven bots increasingly indistinguishable from humans, the internet is at risk of becoming an overwhelming space filled with automated engagement. Jesse and Leo highlight that while AI can be useful, there must be clear distinctions between human and non-human interactions. Maitri's reputation infrastructure could help address this challenge by providing proof of unique personhood, allowing people to differentiate between trusted human connections and AI-driven entities.Decentralized Coordination is a Crucial Missing Layer of the Internet – One of the biggest problems facing humanity is the failure to coordinate effectively. Traditional institutions and digital platforms have struggled to balance inclusivity with exclusivity, leading to either centralization or fragmentation. By creating digital primitives that allow for more efficient coordination—whether through financial incentives, reputation mechanisms, or group dynamics—Maitri aims to provide tools that help people organize at scale without relying on monopolistic control.The Future of Media is Many-to-Many, Not One-to-Many – The era of mass culture driven by television and radio, where everyone consumed the same media at the same time, is fading. Instead, we are moving toward a more fragmented but dynamic landscape where smaller communities cultivate their own cultural moments. While this shift eliminates shared cultural touchpoints, it allows for greater diversity of thought and expression. Curation and trust-based networks will become increasingly important as content continues to proliferate.Balancing Privacy, Identity, and Accountability is the Next Digital Challenge – The conversation highlights the ongoing tension between privacy and accountability in online spaces. While anonymous or pseudonymous interactions can protect free speech, they can also enable bad actors. Maitri's approach seeks to give users control over their identities by enabling flexible, context-dependent personas rather than enforcing a single, rigid identity. This allows for a balance between protecting privacy and maintaining trust in online interactions.

Artificial intelligence continues to shape the future of healthcare, and this year's HIMSS Global Conference 2025 reflected both the momentum and the uncertainties surrounding its adoption. In a conversation with Robert Havasy, Senior Director, Connected Health at HIMSS, the discussion focused on how AI, interoperability, and regulatory policy are influencing healthcare delivery, patient engagement, and the broader industry landscape.AI in Healthcare: From Concept to ImplementationGenerative AI has moved beyond the hype stage, embedding itself into real-world applications. Oracle's announcement of an AI-driven electronic health record (EHR) platform signals a shift in how hospitals and healthcare systems are rethinking data management. However, the conversation is no longer just about the technology itself—it's about how governments, regulatory bodies, and healthcare institutions will set guardrails to ensure AI's responsible and effective use.The Role of Policy in Shaping AI's FutureWhile AI adoption surges, regulatory uncertainty remains a key challenge. The Biden administration had proposed executive orders and regulations to guide AI's role in healthcare, but with political shifts and differing global regulatory approaches, the direction remains unclear. HIMSS has observed that different regions—the U.S., Europe, and Asia—may take separate paths in AI governance, raising questions about whether a unified best-practice framework will emerge or if multiple regulatory approaches will lead to diverging standards.Interoperability and the Shift Back to CustomizationFor years, healthcare institutions moved away from building their own systems in favor of purchasing standardized EHR solutions from dominant industry players. Now, there's a return to in-house development, driven by the need for flexibility, adaptability, and deeper AI integration. At the same time, interoperability remains a hurdle, as institutions seek to make AI work across disparate systems while maintaining security and compliance.The Patient's Role in AI-Driven HealthcareAI's potential to close the information gap between patients and providers is one of the most promising developments. From personal health monitoring through wearables to AI-powered tools that help individuals interpret medical research and their own health data, the patient's role in healthcare decision-making is evolving. The ability for AI to synthesize complex medical data and provide insights in real-time is reshaping how people engage with their health, making them more active participants in their care.What's Next?As HIMSS 2025 highlighted, AI in healthcare is not a distant vision—it's happening now. The question is no longer whether AI will be a part of healthcare, but rather how it will be implemented, regulated, and integrated into existing frameworks to maximize its benefits while mitigating risks. The conversation with Robert Havasy underscores the critical need for collaboration between healthcare providers, policymakers, and technologists to ensure AI delivers on its promise while keeping patients at the center of the equation.Listen to the full episode for deeper insights into how AI, interoperability, and patient-centered care are shaping the future of healthcare.Guest: Robert Havasy, Senior Director, Connected Health at HIMSS | On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rhavasy/Hosts:Sean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine [@ITSPmagazine] and Host of Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast [@RedefiningCyber] | On ITSPmagazine:  https://www.itspmagazine.com/sean-martinMarco Ciappelli, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine [@ITSPmagazine] and Host of Redefining Society Podcast & Audio Signals Podcast | On ITSPmagazine: https://www.itspmagazine.com/itspmagazine-podcast-radio-hosts/marco-ciappelli____________________________This Episode's SponsorsHITRUST: https://itspm.ag/itsphitweb____________________________ResourcesLearn more and catch more stories from HIMSS 2025 coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/himss-2025-health-technology-and-cybersecurity-event-coverage-las-vegasHIMSS 2024 Cybersecurity Report: https://www.himss.org/resources/himss-healthcare-cybersecurity-survey/____________________________Catch all of our event coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/technology-and-cybersecurity-conference-coverageTo see and hear more Redefining CyberSecurity content on ITSPmagazine, visit: https://www.itspmagazine.com/redefining-cybersecurity-podcastTo see and hear more Redefining Society stories on ITSPmagazine, visit:https://www.itspmagazine.com/redefining-society-podcastWant to tell your Brand Story Briefing as part of our event coverage?
