Show Notes
July 14, 2025: Kevin Day, CTO at Rhapsody, joins Drex for the news. While 96% of healthcare executives say they're ready for digital health solutions, two-thirds still battle interoperability challenges that create real patient care problems. Kevin and Drex bring up an alarming trend: 28 healthcare breaches affecting over 5 million people in June 2025, with attack vectors evolving from phishing emails to unpatched third-party software. Kevin discusses how AI might solve duplicate patient record problems while revealing why the soft underbelly of healthcare cybersecurity may not be where most organizations think it is.
