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.
