Sam Schifman
Principal Architect for Innovation / Founder
As a seasoned software architect, Sam has worked in a number of industries including finance, education, HR, cybersecurity, and no-code development platforms. This includes a number of well-known names, such as ADP, Pearson, and Sungard, as well as a number of smaller companies.
In 2019, Sam started an amazing journey in Healthcare IT, when he joined Diameter Health as Chief Architect. There, he helped implement systems that made clinical data usable for Health Information Exchanges, State and Federal Governments, Insurance Providers, and others. He also worked with students at WPI, guest lectured at Harvard, and presented at industry conferences, such as HIMSS and FHIR Dev Days.
Throughout Sam’s career he has been interested in AI. Be it, in using sentiment analysis to aid managers in providing better feedback or how AI could help business users build applications in no-code development tools, he has always been interested in AI’s practical applications. In healthcare he sees it having amazing impact, if approached responsibly. To that end, he has worked with HL7 on standards around AI, researched how NLP could augment structured clinical data, and experimented with how Generative AI / Large Language Models can unlock health data and biomedical research.
Sam is excited about the possibilities for Healthcare IT to have a real positive impact on patient outcomes and he looks forward to helping you achieve your goals.
