Digital Health Partnership Conference – New York 2026

May 4-8, 2026

The 2026 Digital Health Partnership Conference brought together researchers, clinicians, trainees, and collaborators from the Hasso Plattner Institute, Mount Sinai Health System, and Data4Life at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.

The week began with a two-day ECG + EHR Hackathon, where teams used AI-Ready Mount Sinai (AIR·MS) and the Minerva High-Performance Computing platform to tackle a real-world clinical AI challenge. The winning team included HPI master’s students Dinh Trung Hieu Le and Chris-Bennet Fleger, and Mount Sinai PhD student Michelle Campoli.

Conference sessions explored how AI, multimodal data, and collaborative science are advancing precision medicine, accelerating research, and transforming clinical care. Discussions also highlighted innovations in audiovisual AI, learning health systems, and discoveries from the Mount Sinai Million Health Discoveries Program.

Thank you to our partners and friends Girish Nadkarni, Alexander Charney, Dara (Meyer) Rozanski, MS, PMP, Kelly Morgan, Emily Holzman, MPH, PMP and the committee for hosting us and organizing this event!

A special thank you goes to Ben Glicksberg, Matteo Danieletto, Ashwin Sawant, Marissa Wirth, Lewis Lo, Malika Gregory, Matt Johnson, Herve DiBello, Anurag Patil and Pablo Guerrero for developing and organizing the #hackathon.

We look forward to seeing you all at the next conference! 🙌

AIR·MS Researcher Story: Jonas Ebner.

May 2026

How can large-scale health data help us better understand complex and poorly understood diseases?

Jonas Ebner, Research Assistant and Master’s student at the Hasso Plattner Institute, is using AIR·MS to investigate two challenging topics: Fragile X premutation and post-COVID syndrome (Long COVID). By analyzing electronic health record data with machine learning methods, he aims to identify patterns and potential mechanisms behind these conditions. With access to large, well-structured datasets and high-performance computing, AIR·MS enables Jonas to explore research questions that would be difficult to investigate with traditional study designs.

Appointment of Mr. Herve DiBello as Director of Technology, AI-Ready Mount Sinai (AIR·MS), and Dr. Ashwin Sawant as Medical Director, AI-Ready Mount Sinai (AIR·MS).

March 2026

We are pleased to announce that Mr. Herve DiBello has been appointed as Director of Technology, AI-Ready Mount Sinai (AIR·MS), and Dr. Ashwin Sawant has been appointed as Medical Director, AI-Ready Mount Sinai (AIR·MS).

Herve DiBello brings 30 years of experience in the technology sector as a senior data engineer. Prior to joining Mount Sinai, he spent a significant portion of his IT career as a consultant for Systems, Applications, and Products in Data Processing (SAP), where he worked across various technologies and industries, focusing exclusively on healthcare solutions in recent years. In his new role, Mr. DiBello will lead an engineering team in bringing new data modalities to AIR·MS and serve as chief technical architect for new technology solutions integrated into the platform. His expertise will be pivotal in advancing the technological capabilities of AIR·MS and ensuring its seamless integration with healthcare research initiatives.

Dr. Ashwin Sawant is a practicing internist and informaticist with deep expertise at the intersection of clinical care, data, and technology. In this role, he will work closely with researchers and clinicians to understand their scientific, clinical, and operational needs, and to ensure those needs are effectively supported by the AI-enabled platform. In addition, Dr. Sawant will partner with the engineering team led by Mr. DiBello to guide the integration of diverse data modalities, helping ensure that the platform is clinically grounded, scalable, and aligned with real-world use cases.
 
Please join us in welcoming Mr. DiBello and Dr. Sawant in their new roles. We look forward to their leadership
