Chan's relentless pursuit of innovation has earned him numerous accolades, including being named Most Passionate Business Leader to Watch in 2023 by CIO Times. His passion for patient-centered healthcare solutions, rooted in his personal journey, has driven him to create systems that empower patients to take control of their health data and healthcare journeys by leveraging human-centered design and cutting-edge technologies.
From Entertainment to Technology Visionary
Before embarking on his career in technology, Chan's path took a unique turn—he won a singing competition while studying at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. This led to a brief yet enriching stint as a TV host, radio DJ, and singer, refining his presentation and communication skills. These early experiences laid the groundwork for Chan's unique ability to blend creativity and technical acumen, a skillset he would carry into his groundbreaking work in technology.
Chan graduated with an Electrical and Computer Engineering degree in 1999 and joined MicroStrategy to develop world-class business intelligence software. While working at MicroStrategy, Chan pursued his Master of Science in Information and Telecommunication Systems for Business (2003) at Johns Hopkins University. This dual-track approach gave him invaluable hands-on experience alongside academic achievement, forming the foundation for his expertise in data and analytics.
His academic excellence extends beyond his studies, as Chan is a Senior Fellow at both Johns Hopkins University's Center for Digital Health and Artificial Intelligence (CDHAI) and the University of Maryland's Center for Health Information and Decision Systems (CHIDS). These prestigious roles underscore his influence in shaping AI-driven healthcare solutions and advancing the field of digital health.
From Corporate Leadership to Industry Pioneer
Chan's career flourished as a Principal at Infosys, where he transformed the data strategies of Fortune 500 companies. Building on his success at Infosys, Chan transitioned to CSC, managing a large engineering department as Head of Big Data and Analytics, driving transformation and operational efficiency on significant projects.
Chan's influence extended to the Mortgage Industry Standards Maintenance Organization (MISMO), where he served as the Chairperson in the Architecture Workgroup and Logical Data Model Redesign Development Workgroup. In this capacity, he steered technical disciplines and fostered innovation, shaping the standards for information exchange and business conduct in the U.S. mortgage finance industry.
Since 2017, Chan has also been the BI & AI Committee Chairperson at LF AI & Data under the Linux Foundation, one of the largest open-source communities in the world. He has been at the forefront of driving industry standards and best practices in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Business Intelligence (BI). His leadership in the foundation pushes the boundaries of data and technology applications across multiple industries by exploring the possibility of intersecting the speed at which machine learns from data with the direction human insight can intuit naturally.
Revolutionizing Healthcare with Federaiota
Among Chan's many entrepreneurial ventures, his work as the founder of Pistevo Decision stands out. Under his guidance, the company developed Carealth, a pioneering platform integrating Social Determinants of Health (SDH) into Clinical Decision Support (CDS) systems. This innovative project, which received a prestigious NIH SBIR Award, aims to improve cancer patient outcomes by connecting them to essential resources and facilitating seamless care coordination. Carealth also forms the foundation for future healthcare modernization.
In 2024, at the Global Health Catalyst Summit in Washington, DC, Chan coined the term Federaiota. This innovative approach combines Federated Learning, AI, Data, and the Internet of Things (IoT). With Federaiota, users are equipped with tools that offer real-time, actionable insights while protecting their privacy. This represents a new era in personalized medicine, aiming to democratize wisdom for patients and even among healthcare providers and researchers.
"Being included in Marquis Who's Who is an incredible honor, and I owe it to the brilliant teams I've had the privilege to lead. This recognition reaffirms my commitment to pushing the boundaries of AI and data, creating technologies that truly impact lives," said Chan.
