AI could transform healthcare, but privacy, security, and governance remain major barriers to adoption.
Channel Insider Managing Editor Victoria Durgin sits down with Promevo CTO John Petty to discuss how confidential computing can help healthcare organizations securely use sensitive data for AI workloads — and where channel partners can build services around the technology.
Petty explains why protecting “data in use” matters alongside encryption at rest and in transit, how confidential computing can support AI governance and patient privacy, and why partners need to approach healthcare organizations as business consultants rather than simply technology providers.
The conversation also explores real-world applications spanning clinical AI, medical transcription, pharmaceutical research, predictive analytics, and connected healthcare devices.
