A Simpler AI Melody Played at ViVE2025

There was still an overwhelming focus on AI at this year’s #ViVEvent – ViVE2025, but unlike last year, the tone was completely different. Last year, there were many ambitious claims being made about how AI will improve healthcare. This year, the AI claims were simpler and more grounded.

That was a welcome change.

Here is my summary of ViVE2025.

Key Takeaways

1. AI messaging was more realistic and backed up by testimonials and data.
2. Branded experience was top-notch (as usual)
3. Attendance felt lighter than prior years – likely due to flight cancellations and the lack of any government attendees.

Thank you to everyone who agreed to be on-camera (in order of appearance):

• Nikhil Buduma – Co-Founder & Chief Scientist at Ambience Healthcare
• Paul Dain – CEO at Abundant Health Acquisition (aha!)
• Graham Gardner – Founder & CEO at Kyruus Health
• Harsh Singh – General Manager, Healthcare at Genzeon
• Adam Mariano – President & General Manager, Healthcare at LexisNexis Risk Solutions
• Bonnie Bruner – Client Success Manager at Clinical Architecture
• Scott Stuewe – President & CEO at Direct Trust
• Stephanie Broderick – SVP, Provider Solutions at Clinical Architecture
