David Wright sits down with four healthcare technology leaders live from HIMSS 2026 in Las Vegas for a series of short, direct conversations capturing the real state of digital health transformation. Tom Boyle (Head of Telecoms at Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust ), Tonya Reeder (CIO, Walter Reed National Military Mediacl Centre ), Trip Humphrey (Director of Data Science and AI, Carilion Clinic ), and Dr. Kaitlan Baston (Founder and CEO, Vinyl Health ) each bring a distinct vantage point on AI adoption, governance, equity, and patient empowerment in a sector moving faster than its own roadmaps. Key Takeaways: 00:00 Introduction. 02:30 UK patients accept longer waits , but only if health systems proactively keep them informed along the way. 04:00 Start AI with admin and radiology triage - win trust first, then pursue bigger clinical transformation. 06:00 The NHS and US health systems face more digital parallels than differences - same conversations, different funding models. 18:00 AI bias is a data gap problem, for example, underrepresented populations were simply absent from early military health records.
