Peter Stetson, Tiger Connect

Peter Stetson is the CMIO of Tiger Connect. It’s now calling itself an AI platform to connect people, especially workflows between doctors, nurses, EMTs and devices. Until recently he was CMIO at Memorial Sloan Kettering, so I asked him about what the real problems in communications were. He believes it’s all about routing the calls to the right people and figuring out which is the right person to get the message escalation based on context. That can be in the hospital, or in the home. Tiger’s evolution has been to work on that orchestration. Peter gave the example of orchestrating surgery to improve patient care & save hospitals money, but similar issues are triggered by sepsis, heart attacks, etc, all in the Tiger system, increasingly automated off devices. And I raised the issue of where does Epic stop and where does Tiger start. Always controversial these days. But Peter is confident Tiger is “safe” for now!—Matthew Holt
