Here are eight innovative executives that we’ve chatted with in 2025. They represent some of the best in digital health innovation and healthcare transformation.
HealthLeaders has talked to a number of digital health executives over the past year, and it’s impossible to rank them. So we’re picking eight top executives – because that’s what fits into this infographic – and giving them a moment in the spotlight.
These men and women epitomize what it means to be healthcare leaders at a time when innovation is high on everyone’s list but paying for it and squeezing it into clinical workflows are huge problems. Everyone knows that new technologies like AI and virtual care have the potential to effect true healthcare transformation, but there are many roadblocks and challenges along the way that have to be navigated with skill.
So take a look at eight digital health executives who are leading the way, and know that there are many more out there who could be in this infographic. And let me know who those people are, so I can chat with them in 2026 and make this list longer.
