The Allure and Peril of a Healthcare AI Sidekick
Peter Loforte
Artificial intelligence promises to give us human superpowers—sharper insight, faster research, and personalized recommendations that can improve health and well-being. But with that power comes peril: privacy breaches, safety concerns, and unregulated advice that may be as dangerous as it is compelling. In this provocative kickoff session, Peter Loforte—former Microsoft VP and General Manager of Trustworthy Computing—will demonstrate his own personal healthcare AI. It’s powerful, intoxicating, and unsettling, a glimpse of the near future where patients bring their own digital companions into the exam room, challenging the very foundations of trusted healthcare. Speaker: Peter Loforte, “Life with Machines” podcast
Market Innovations in Trust & Data Exchange
In the era of privacy awareness, the healthcare industry has struggled with finding a way to give patients the ability to determine which of their data is shared. Due to stigma, legality, and other concerns, patients prefer a more granular right to choose over the current all-or-nothing approach. What current technologies allow for tagging or segmentation to make granular consent possible? Who is using those technologies, and how is adoption progressing? What legislative or regulatory moves are necessary to support granular consent?
Moderator: Deven McGraw, Citizen Health

Trust by Design: How Health Literacy Makes AI in Healthcare Work
Karen Komondor
AI is transforming healthcare, but innovation without trust risks failure. This session makes the case that health literacy—clear, inclusive, and transparent communication—isn’t just a patient tool, but a strategic framework for leaders designing, regulating, and deploying AI.

Resilient Systems, Trusted Care: The Future of Healthcare Cybersecurity
Who do you trust with your health data? In today’s high-stakes cybersecurity landscape, trust can be built—or broken—in an instant. Join one of the nation’s top cybersecurity attorneys as they sit down with a nationally recognized healthcare cybersecurity leader for an unfiltered conversation on what really drives confidence in the system. This isn’t about check-the-box compliance. It’s about the policies, partnerships, and oversight that separate resilience from risk. Walk away with insider insights on how trust is won, why it’s lost, and what it takes to keep patients—and providers—safe in an increasingly complex digital world.

The Intersection of AI and Privacy Policy at the Federal Level
Trust Talk: It Takes Trust to Tango: Preserving Privacy, Trust, and Patient Autonomy in a Digital Health Ecosystem
Today’s patients have the right to get and share copies of their own health data and even use AI to understand the information if they want. This right is part of HIPAA’s 25-year-old trust framework that patients recognize as baseline privacy and security protections for their health information, even if not always well-understood. And because HIPAA imposes responsibilities on the healthcare entities, the burden of managing privacy and security does not fall to the individual. When patients migrate their health data out of traditional healthcare settings, they might expect that their health data will be treated with the same privacy and trust? Will patients be unaware of how others might use their data, for what purposes, with what privacy protection? How will broadening the use and reach of patient-directed exchange risk ripping HIPAA’s core trust fabric? Two people who trust each other enough to have passionate but different views on these topics discuss those differences in an intimate conversation, almost as if you were sitting at their dinner table with them—and yes, they’ve been married for 35 years.

Healthcare AI and Privacy in Congress
Where Artificial Intelligence and Regulation Meet
Moore’ s Law posits that computing power increases exponentially over time—a proxy for innovation. But drug development, in terms of efficiency, is following “Eroom’s Law” (“Moore’s” spelled backward)—in other words, declining precipitously. In an exploration of how AI can help us streamline drug discovery, Dr. Fakhouri will address the data access and trust issues that arise, and how privacy and transparency can be maintained.

Tala Fakhouri, PhD, MPH, AI & Digital Policy, Real-World Research, Vice President Consulting, Parexel

Collaborative Forecasting Session
Forecasting the Future of Health Data Privacy: A Participatory Working Session
As healthcare rapidly embraces AI and digital transformation, the privacy landscape is shifting in real time. In this highly participatory closing session of the ADAPT Conference, attendees will help shape a 3–5 year forecast highlighting how evolving privacy rules, risks, and technologies will impact trust, regulation, and innovation in healthcare. Beyond compliance, this forecast will offer strategic, operational, and public policy insights to support proactive planning in a volatile environment—highlighting everything from cybersecurity threats and liability risks to investments in data governance, trust frameworks, and patient engagement.
Participants will collaborate using a visual map of the health data privacy landscape, working in small groups to explore key focus areas and emerging tensions. The session culminates in a gallery walk and synthesis of insights, which will directly inform the final version of a strategic forecast report. Whether you’re concerned with AI adoption, reputational risk, or patient-centered innovation, this session offers a rare opportunity to co-create foresight that will guide leaders across sectors navigating the next wave of healthcare transformation.
