The pulse on healthcare AI governance

Mercyhealth selects Vitea to scale AI safely with real-time visibility, policy enforcement, and oversight.

Vitea has been named a finalist in the 2026 Fierce AI Innovation Awards for AI Innovation in Data Governance & Privacy. The recognition from Fierce Life Sciences validates Vitea's purpose-built approach to healthcare AI governance — giving health systems visibility into shadow AI, network-level policy enforcement, and continuous testing and red-teaming.

Vitea and Fortified Health Security brought healthcare executives together to discuss the growing urgency of AI governance, its convergence with cybersecurity, and the unique risks AI creates for health systems.

Hartford HealthCare, one of New England's largest integrated health systems, has partnered with Vitea to strengthen governance and oversight of AI technologies across the organization.

Murali Naidu, MD brings hospital leadership and clinical expertise to Vitea's leadership team. In alignment with the Vitea mission, Dr. Naidu sees the power of AI in healthcare and will help hospital clients shape AI governance across their system.

Vitea Chief Medical Officer Dr. Murali Naidu joined the Beyond the Bedside podcast to discuss his path from surgeon to healthcare executive, the promise and risks of AI, and why strong governance and accountable leadership are essential to improving patient care.

At HIMSS 2026, health system leaders made it clear that AI governance is now an urgent priority, with discovery, policy enforcement, and post-deployment monitoring emerging as the three biggest challenges.

Vitea has joined CHIME as an Associate Foundation Member, strengthening its collaboration with healthcare technology leaders on AI visibility, policy enforcement, and continuous model monitoring.
