Our last day at ViVE 2026

Day three was a half day, but it didn't feel like a wind-down. With a quieter exhibit floor, the conversations got longer, more honest, and more interesting. Less foot traffic, more depth, and sometimes that's where the best connections happen.

What is ViVE 2026?

ViVE 2026 is the premier event where the business of healthcare meets the future of technology. It's Co-created by HLTH and CHIME, and unites health systems and payer leaders with the innovators, investors, and solution partners driving measurable transformation across digital health.

Highlights of Day 3:

• Highlight #1: The calmer floor allowed us to have real conversations with attendees. No rushing, no elevator pitches. Just genuine dialogue about email security challenges and what healthcare organizations are actually dealing with.
• Highlight #2: We gave away a bottle of Blanton's Bourbon to a lucky attendee. 
• Highlight #3: Three great days, hundreds of conversations, and our best ViVE showing yet. The new booth, the new messaging, and the team all delivered.

Day 3 takeaways:

• Startups are being held to a higher standard. "Innovative" isn't enough anymore. Health systems want proven results and a clear path to scale.
• Clinical AI needs clinical guardrails so generic AI tools don't seem to cut it in healthcare. Context and compliance matter.
• Data fragmentation is still the biggest obstacle. Whether it's AI, interoperability, or security, every conversation eventually circles back to the same problem: too much disparate data, not enough trust.
• Security can't be an afterthought. As health systems invest in AI and digital transformation, the attack surface grows. Phishing isn't going away — it's getting smarter alongside everything else.
