🔥 Heading into #WMIF2026 this week! Mass General Brigham's World Medical Innovation Forum, where 250+ CEOs, investors, and clinicians get candid about where healthcare is actually headed, in the US and globally.
I'll be covering it, including AI and patient trust, the future of diagnostics, rare disease, and more.
🤝 Presenting or attending? Let's connect — tell me what I shouldn't miss.👇

A once nightly pill cut sleep apnea events by 44% in a phase 3 trial. Millions of people quit CPAP every year because sleeping strapped to a machine is miserable. If a prescription can do the job, an entire durable medical equipment category gets disrupted by a pharmacy counter. Big trial, big implications.

Good catching up with the team from FPT at #HIMSS26. Interesting to see how they’re applying AI, IoT, and cloud engineering to connected medical devices and digital health platforms. The convergence of medtech, software, and data science is where a lot of real healthcare innovation is happening. 🏥⚙️📡 @FPTAmericas #HIMSS @IrmaRaste
In 1988, a Soviet-trained mathematician returned to a war-battered Vietnam with triple-digit inflation and no real economy to speak of.
He and twelve colleagues — mostly scientists — started a tech company and taught themselves computing from books smuggled in from Hong Kong. No internet. No tutorials. Just first principles and a lot of determination.
That company is FPT Software. Today it operates in 30 countries, employs over 80,000 people, and pulled $2.47 billion in revenue last year. They closed a single US contract in 2024 worth $225 million.
I've been doing a deep dive into FPT ahead of HIMSS26, and their healthcare story is the part that caught me off guard. 17 years in the sector — this isn't a company chasing a hot market. They've built serious infrastructure: AI health platforms, SaMD practices, three consecutive HITRUST r2 certifications (including the new AI Security cert), and a flagship deployment for IHH Healthcare Singapore, one of the largest private hospital groups in the world.
They'll be at HIMSS26 in Las Vegas with a full presence — booth, AI Kiosk, executive sessions, and a speaking slot on AI in MedTech diagnostics and wearables.
Worth knowing about if you're not already watching them.
