Hospital leaders are being graded on digital maturity, and the bar keeps rising. We're tracking who's setting the standard—from CHIME's Level Ten designations to the first paperless hospital in the UAE achieving full digital maturity. Then we dive into precision medicine at scale, a $100M bet on AI-native virtual care, transplant breakthroughs, and smart hospital case studies from Malaysia and Vietnam that show what digital transformation actually looks like in practice.

???? Digital Health Leadership — Nate Collier



Eighteen health systems earned CHIME's Level Ten designation for 2025, demonstrating measurable outcomes in AI deployment, virtual care, cybersecurity, and patient engagement. Level Ten organizations aren't running pilots—they're deploying AI and virtual care across entire health systems with proven ROI.



???? Global Innovation — Peter Betterworth



Fakeeh University Hospital in Dubai became the first healthcare organization in the UAE to achieve HIMSS EMRAM Stage Seven—full digital maturity. The hospital is completely paperless with real-time data across all departments and AI-driven decision support in clinical workflows.



???? Precision Medicine — Teresa Vaughn



Princess Margaret Cancer Centre is launching the Our-Genes study with Helix, screening up to 100,000 patients for hereditary cancer and familial hypercholesterolemia. The population-scale genomics program represents a shift from reactive to proactive cancer care.



???? AI Virtual Care Investment — Logan Stokes



Tala Health raised $100M to build an AI-native virtual care platform designed as the front door for entire health systems, using AI to handle triage, scheduling, and initial assessments before connecting patients with human providers.



???? Transplant Innovation — Jade Romero



CareDx launched AI-informed kidney transplant tools including the HistoMap Kidney assay and updated molecular surveillance data, helping transplant teams predict rejection risk more accurately and personalize immunosuppression protocols.



???? Smart Hospital Case Studies — Nate Collier



Regency Specialist Hospital in Malaysia cut critical lab response time by 16% and reduced manual documentation by two-thirds with their integrated smart ward system. Sun Group's new hospital in Phú Quốc, Vietnam is launching as a born-digital facility built on Amalga, with AI-ready integrated workflows designed from day one.



???? Pediatric Care — Xavier Banks



Hackensack Meridian Health and the Valerie Fund announced a $3.5 million expansion of pediatric pain and palliative care services, increasing workforce capacity and access to specialized pediatric comfort care across the network.
