John Pettit Highlights Healthcare AI Security in Forbes

COVINGTON, Ky., August 18, 2026 /Forbes/-- In a recent article for Forbes Technology Council, Promevo Chief Technology Officer John Pettit details how confidential computing is solving the core security challenges hindering artificial intelligence adoption in healthcare. 

While AI offers immense potential to unify fragmented patient data and optimize clinical decision-making, widespread adoption remains bottlenecked by stringent data privacy concerns. Citing the American Medical Association’s 2026 Physician Survey on Augmented Intelligence, Pettit notes that 86% of physicians require firm privacy assurances before integrating AI into their practices. Traditional security methods only protect static or moving data, leaving sensitive information exposed while actively being processed. Confidential computing resolves this vulnerability by safeguarding data in use, giving healthcare organizations the protection required to leverage advanced AI models confidently.

Pettit outlines three pivotal ways confidential computing overcomes healthcare AI’s trust barrier: securely connecting siloed patient datasets, establishing a transparent foundation with tamper-resistant audit logs, and facilitating safe multi-organization collaboration. By protecting data during computation, healthcare institutions can safely analyze cross-provider datasets to identify emerging public health risks, accelerate medical research, and improve patient outcomes without violating compliance standards or patient consent. As a trusted Google Sherpa and leader in digital transformation, Promevo continues to guide organizations through complex technology landscapes. Pettit emphasizes that establishing a secure computing architecture is essential for any healthcare leader looking to move beyond isolated AI experiments and drive long-term value across the healthcare ecosystem.
