Hey! I’m Brad. I am a healthcare integrator: someone who thinks about the vast ecosystem of healthcare applications, and how we go about connecting them. I work with standards like HL7, FHIR, and DICOM, and connect these into workflows profiled by IHE. Standards are the backbone of effective and interoperable healthcare systems, ensuring that patient data is accessible, secure, and meaningful across all platforms and providers.

Integration powered by Coffee, Music, and Cats

To keep me moving, integrating and innovating, I listen to music for inspiration. You might find me at conferences, hackathons, or hallways with a pair of headphones on, letting the music take me to where it needs to go. I’ll share some of my music influences, from Chip Tunes to Backyard grooves and even to Running playlists that form my soundtrack. The right playlist fuels my creativity and focus.

For added pep, there’s nothing like a hot cup of coffee. The rituals of coffee, whether it is brewing the perfect cup of coffee from home or picking one up from a cozy coffee house, is a cherished part of my routine, providing the perfect kickstart to my mornings and a moment of serenity during busy afternoons.

I am a cat person at heart. Being my spirit animal, they bring a touch of joy and a lot of personality, and their occasional interruption is always appreciated. And often, when I talk through healthcare standards and workflows, I’ll use cats as my examples. They don’t mind.

Technology for Good

I do all this to make the world a better place for all : for doctors, for nurses and ultimately for the patient. I’ve dedicated my career to advancing interoperability and innovation in digital health and medical imaging, focusing on integrating healthcare artificial intelligence workflows into everyday clinical practice. By working together, building healthcare standards and embracing the ever-evolving technologies, we will bridge every gap in healthcare, ensuring that every patient receives the best possible care.
