Leading the Charge for Self-sovereign data at HIMMS 2025

‍

The HIMSS 2025 Emerge Innovation Experience recently concluded in Las Vegas, Nevada, serving as a focal point for the digital transformation of global healthcare. The event, hosted by the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS), brought together a specialized cohort of C-suite executives, healthcare providers, and technology investors to examine the next generation of health IT solutions.

The Problem of Data Silos

During the conference, Ever CEO Bhanusich Chomanan took the stage to address a fundamental friction point in modern medicine: fragmented data. Currently, patient information is often trapped within disparate institutional systems, leading to diagnostic delays, redundant costs, and a lack of patient agency.

Bhanusich’s presentation centered on self-sovereign data as the structural solution to these challenges. By moving toward a model where individuals own and control their own records, the industry can achieve true interoperability. This shift resolves the technical and legal bottlenecks that currently prevent data from moving seamlessly between clinics, hospitals, and pharmacies.

Impact in Thailand

A primary focus of the discussion was Ever’s ongoing work in connecting healthcare data for the people of Thailand. By building a secure, unified infrastructure, Ever is enabling Thai citizens to access their medical history through a decentralized framework. This local implementation serves as a blueprint for how national health systems can transition from closed databases to open, patient-centric ecosystems without compromising security.

Unlocking New Verticals

The presentation highlighted that once health data is unlocked from traditional silos, it catalyzes the growth of several adjacent ecosystems:

• Clinical Trials & AI: Interoperable data allows for faster, permission-based recruitment for clinical trials and provides high-quality, consented datasets for training predictive AI models.
• Finance & Insurance: Real-time data access enables more accurate risk assessment and the creation of personalized insurance products.
• Wellness: Data portability allows wellness providers to offer precision health coaching based on a user’s actual clinical history.

Strategic Outcomes

The HIMSS25 Emerge event provided Ever with a platform to align its regional successes in Southeast Asia with global health standards. The engagement resulted in a significantly expanded professional network, including new dialogues with international technology vendors and global health policymakers. These connections are instrumental as Ever continues to scale its data infrastructure and advocate for self-sovereign health identities on the world stage.
