Author: Karl Fankhauser

Karl Fankhauser is a huge advocate of the University of Colorado where he received his MS in CS/IS. Since then, Karl has worked primarily in healthcare software and IT, with some time spent in manufacturing and telecom as well. As the Chief Architect at CareScience, he architected and delivered the solution that would later become the model for the Health Information Exchange used across the United States. This solution leveraged AI and APIs in the healthcare space when few were even thinking about these technologies. During a long tenure at Kaiser Permanente, Karl worked as Principal Architect in the privacy and security space, various functional areas in the health and as a Principal Architect and Director in Enterprise Architecture where he added care delivery and corporate services dimensions to his background. Many of the architectural decisions promoted by Karl led to huge savings and revenue gains. Currently, Karl is starting Advanced Healthcare Automation a company that focuses on using emerging technologies to promote affordability and accessibility to healthcare. Some of the technologies this new company is researching and developing includes APIs (of course), Agentic AI and drones. You can reach out at Karl@advancedhealtcareautomation.com
