Innovation Showcase
Where Vision Meets Real-World Impact
These innovators represent more than ideas—they’re building and delivering solutions that are actively shaping the future of healthcare. Selected for their ability to translate vision into measurable impact, their work reflects the kind of progress that improves care, advances outcomes, and drives meaningful system-level change.
Vigilora
Vigilora is bringing a new approach to healthcare privacy.
In the age of AI, where patient safety is top of mind, Vigilora provides continuous privacy monitoring and observability, helping healthcare teams detect and prevent risks before they turn into costly violations or class actions, much like teams monitor production systems to catch issues before they cause outages.
Praia Health
Praia Health was born inside Providence to solve a problem every health system faces: disconnected, impersonal digital experiences. Built and proven within one of the nation’s largest health systems, Praia delivers the personalized, frictionless journeys patients expect.
What started as an innovation initiative became the first scalable platform for patient experience orchestration.
LumosFit
LumosFit is developing an agentic AI-coach for behavior change that can allow 115 million people with prediabetes to easily and effectively sustain healthy lifestyle choices to reduce their risk of diabetes. The team behind this innovation is led by Hema Mandlekar, an ex-Apple senior software engineer and leader with a strong track record in R&D and product launches.
Reefo
Reefo replaces months of RFPs and guesswork with a standardized evaluation process built for healthcare. Select in weeks, not months.
Innovators Welcome
Submitting your innovation for the HIMSS Northern California Healthcare Innovation Conference places your work in front of leaders who shape, fund, and implement change across healthcare. This is a curated, impact-focused showcase—designed to surface solutions that move beyond ideas into real-world application.
This conference is dedicated to identifying and elevating innovations with the potential to improve care delivery, enhance patient outcomes, and drive meaningful system-level change. Whether your solution is emerging or already demonstrating measurable impact, we’re looking for work that pairs vision with execution.
The submission form on this page helps our review committee understand your solution, its value, and the problem it solves. Share your story, your approach, and the impact you’re working toward—we’re excited to learn how your innovation is helping shape what’s next in healthcare.
Our mission is to transform the global health ecosystem through the power of information and technology—because improving health is our “why,” technology is our “how,” and innovation is the “what” that brings it all together.
