Tijdens een studiereis met een groep Belgische ziekenhuis IT specialisten naar Dubai, had ik meerder conversaties met Jo vander Schueren, de CEO van Jarviss.

Een van die gesprekken ging over de uitdagingen in dit tijdperken AI, worden de dreigingen groter, of -met hulp er van- beter ? We deden dit dunnetjes over eenmaal terug in eigen land.

Jarviss is een bedrijf wat veel zorgorganisaties in België helpt, en nu ook in Nederland actief is, die ik op hun verzoek ondersteun de zorgmarkt nog beter te begrijpen.

Nurses : notes in your pocket, trailing messages & colleagues, a thousand tasks to fill and three phones in your scrubs. Sounds familiar èh.With the ever-increasing number of programs, screens and systems handling during shifts did not get easier, there are growing places to interact with and find info. In my travel and speaking activities I came across a program of Microsoft with a name that (growing up in acute healthcare) caught my attention, #MSFrontline which kind of promised a solution for just that. Never heard about it and they explained it to me as kind of one place where it all comes together, pulling data from the different systems and giving you a multi-communications platform. Yeah, I know heard that one before... But in my work helping solve healthcare’s challenges, like clinicians getting more satisfaction out of their work, I thought it made sense to have a brief conversation over here about it. Particularly when they started to explain to me what they've done to other 'frontlines' like airlines.Join me for a brief 20-minute explanatory conversation during which I'm curious to hear from you if this is what we were waiting for, with Tulsi Keshkamat of Microsoft, not for a sales pitch! (Disclosure: they do compensate for my time.)

Myriam Fernández Martín, Healthcare lead AWS :

💙 I became a nurse to care for people. I moved to the cloud to make sure millions more could be cared for too.
That's the lens I carry with me. Every single day.
I sat down with Lucien Engelen and Jessica Workum on the ICT&health Global Podcast to explore a question that keeps me up at night:
How do we build resilience into healthcare without losing its soul?
Here's what I believe 👇
1️⃣ 🏥 The cloud isn't cold infrastructure, it's the backbone of healthcare systems that can bend without breaking
2️⃣ 🤖 AI doesn't replace the clinician's instinct, it sharpens it. Early detection. Pattern recognition. Precision that saves lives
3️⃣ 🌍 Europe is writing the next chapter leading with values, sovereignty, and innovation that puts patients first
4️⃣ 💙 Behind every data point is a heartbeat, a diagnosis, a family waiting, a life that matters. That's the compass
The question isn't if healthcare goes digital. It's whether we have the courage to make it human-first.
Because sooner or later, we all become patients. And when that moment comes, the system we built should be ready, resilient, compassionate, and worthy of trust.
