Heard in the Halls at HIMSS: Kim Perry on Scaling AI & Refocusing on Health Equity

In this episode of Heard in the Halls at HIMSS, we sit down with Kim Perry, Chief Growth Officer at emtelligent, to discuss how the conversation around AI in healthcare is evolving.

Kim shares how the industry is moving beyond proof of concept and into real-world production—where scalability, accuracy, and cost are taking center stage. She also highlights a return to basics, with organizations focusing on solving tangible healthcare operational challenges rather than chasing hype.

When it comes to health equity, Kim points out a concerning trend: it’s no longer as prominent in industry conversations as it once was. She underscores the need to bring greater attention back to this critical issue.

Tune in for a grounded perspective on where AI—and health equity—stand today from the HIMSS conference floor.
