In another special episode recorded live from the floor of the HLTH 2025 conference, Dr. Tim Showalter sits down with Jacob Hansen, Chief Product and Technology Officer of AvaSure.
AvaSure is a leader in intelligent virtual care, powering over 5,000 deployments in 1,100 hospitals with its virtual sitting and nursing platform. Jacob discusses how AvaSure's unique, nurse-centric approach to product design (15% of their team are nurses) is critical to building technology that clinicians actually trust and use.
In this conversation, Jacob unveils major new partnerships with Suki, to integrate ambient clinical documentation, and Verizon, to leverage private 5G for rapid, reliable deployment in hospitals. He shares how AvaSure is tackling healthcare's biggest challenges—patient safety, workforce productivity, and clinician burnout—and "bringing the joy back to the bedside."
Tune in to hear how AvaSure is delivering millions in financial value, reducing staff attrition, and leveraging its massive data asset to prove clinical efficacy. Finally, Jacob shares his vision for the future of in-hospital care: the rise of "agentic AI" that moves beyond simple models to create true, outcome-driven solutions.
