Welcome to Pulse: Amplify, where we sit down with the leaders and changemakers shaping the future of health.

Jordi Piera Jiménez joins Pulse to unpack the foundations of digital health.

Fresh from stepping down as Director of Digital Health Strategy at the Catalan Health Service, Jordi reflects on what most health systems are still getting wrong: interoperability that’s more theatre than reality, AI built on poorly structured clinical data, and the dangerous confusion of digital transformation with IT procurement.

We explore why public health systems should own their digital infrastructure, how procurement can be a powerful lever for change, and why clinicians must be better supported to understand that documentation is the core of modern healthcare.

Jordi shares a bold vision for the next decade: true digital public infrastructure, genuine patient agency over data, and platform economies that drive innovation without vendor lock-in.

A thoughtful, systems-level conversation about infrastructure, governance, ethics — and getting the foundations right.
