If you couldn’t make it to HLTH 2025, here’s what you missed: packed keynote sessions, smart panel discussions, and nonstop talk about how AI is reshaping the business and delivery of care. Over four days in Las Vegas, we captured the biggest moments, the sharpest insights, and the innovations that stood out.
Below are my short daily recaps, one from each day of HLTH, featuring the people, products, and ideas that shone in the spotlight.

HLTH kicked off with big-name speakers and bold conversations. We opened the week moderating a data quality panel, explored the importance of balancing patient experience, and heard passionate takes on medication access from Rob Lowe and Mark Cuban. A high-energy start to a packed conference.

Day 4 – Hidden Gems and Final Takeaways
The final day was quieter and that’s exactly when some of the best discoveries happen. We explored geospatial AI with Esri and gathered “hot takes” from across the show floor. The big picture: a lot of innovation is happening in healthcare along multiple vectors, buoyed by AI, but powered by the recognition that we need to be more effective and efficient.
