What if our healthcare system wasn’t failing from lack of resources—but from a lack of connection?
Picture this: an on-call doctor tries to retrieve the medical history of an unconscious patient. The information exists, somewhere. A clinic. A GP’s notes. A specialist’s report. But nothing flows. No system talks to another.
That’s the true cost of missing interoperability.
It may sound technical, but it’s actually one of the most powerful levers for transforming healthcare. At the crossroads of medical ethics, digital sovereignty, and human-centered innovation.
In this article, I explore why making health data circulate securely and meaningfully is not a futuristic luxury, but a critical foundation. And more importantly, how we can start doing things differently, as caregivers, patients, institutions, and technologists.
