Healthcare’s data revolution has given us volume, but George Boghos, CEO of Imagine Pediatrics, is focused on something far more valuable: meaning.
He believes the next era of data-driven care lies in integrating medical, behavioral, and social insights to create a holistic picture of every patient’s journey, especially for vulnerable and medically complex children.
Beyond Data Points: Seeing the Whole Child
“When we move beyond isolated data points and instead bring together medical, behavioral, and social insights, the full picture of each patient’s unique journey begins to unfold.”
For Imagine Pediatrics, this philosophy is more than aspirational; it’s operational. By incorporating social determinants of health and caregiver input, George’s team helps clinicians anticipate crises before they occur and tailor preventive interventions that address real-life challenges.
It’s data with empathy — care that mirrors the realities of families’ daily lives.
Responsible Innovation Starts with Governance
George is candid about the tension between speed and safety in healthcare innovation. He emphasizes that strong data lineage and governance must underpin any use of AI or advanced analytics. It’s a reminder that innovation is a process of alignment, not acceleration.
AI as a Force Multiplier, Not a Replacement
AI can help surface key insights, freeing clinicians to focus on what matters most, their patients.
“We believe that technology is not there to replace the care, but enhance it.”
At Imagine Pediatrics, AI streamlines administrative work, anticipates patient needs, and delivers information to clinicians in real time, helping them operate at the top of their license.
Listening to Families, Not Just Systems
One of George’s most important points is that the voices of patients and caregivers must be part of the data ecosystem.
For children with complex needs, that means capturing not only clinical data but also behavioral, environmental, and social realities.
By closing data gaps and connecting behavioral and SDOH data, Imagine Pediatrics is co-designing care plans that are both personalized and practical, built around real families, not idealized workflows.
The “Last Mile” of Data Sharing
George hopes the conversations at HLTH 2025 will focus on closing the “last mile” of data sharing, ensuring insights reach clinicians in real-time and guide the next best action.
“Analytics only matter if they guide the next best action without overwhelming providers.”
His message is clear: for data to matter, it must move — and it must move in service of the patient.
Why This Matters
George Boghos and his team at Imagine Pediatrics are demonstrating that when healthcare data accurately reflects the lived experiences of families, the results speak for themselves: fewer hospitalizations, more days at home, and improved outcomes for the most vulnerable children.
As HLTH 2025 approaches, expect this kind of purpose-driven innovation to set the tone for what’s next.
