A career in healthcare technology looks very different when you have the chance to step back and talk through 30 years of it.
​
Paul Swider recently joined Stephen Ibaraki for a wide-ranging interview about the work that has shaped his career, from early hospital technology and healthcare operations to engineering education, community building, and the AI systems he is working on today.
​
We appreciate Stephen giving Paul the opportunity to share that perspective and some of the experiences behind it.

October is looking good for the BOSHUG community!

We're happy to announce that Nick Sophinos, Director of Engineering at AthletesTogether, will be joining us as our featured speaker for our October 22 meetup!

We'll be back at the Microsoft NERD Center in Cambridge, bringing together people who work in healthcare, cloud, AI, and the many fields where these technologies intersect.

Our monthly meetups are about more than presentations. They're a chance to learn from people doing interesting work, exchange ideas, ask questions, and get to know others in Boston's technology community.

And there's always room for someone new at the table.

Here's what's coming up:
📅 Thursday, October 22, 2026
🕔 5:00 PM ET
📍 Microsoft NERD Center, Cambridge, MA
🎤 Featured Speaker: Nick Sophinos, Director of Engineering at AthletesTogether

And mark your calendars for November 19!

We're also pleased to confirm our November BOSHUG meetup. More details to follow as we continue bringing our community together through the rest of the year.

Whether you've been attending for years or have yet to join your first meetup, we'd love to see you this October.

Boston AI Week 2026 starts Thursday, and we're opening ours in Gloucester.

A small group, one table, and dinner from Virgilio's while we work through what's actually running under the hood of today's AI agents. How Microsoft Scout sits on the OpenClaw runtime, what governance looks like when every agent carries its own identity and audit trail, and where Agent Plugins 1.0 takes the ecosystem next.

This is the kind of conversation you can only have when the room is small. No slides, no webinar, just people who build, buy, and govern AI in healthcare, talking honestly about the messy parts.

Boston AI Week runs September 24 through October 2 with events across the Commonwealth. We're proud to be part of it.

Follow along here for the recap, and join our community if you want a seat at what comes next.

The interesting part of Microsoft Scout is what sits underneath it.

On September 24, we’re spending an evening on three questions:
• How does Scout sit on the OpenClaw runtime?
• What does governance look like when an agent has its own identity and audit trail?
• What does Agent Plugins 1.0 change about how capabilities are packaged and shared?

We’re keeping the room to 15 people so the session can stay conversational. Wheelhouse Cowork Harborside, Gloucester. Dinner included.

Four cities this fall, with one thread running through every conversation: AI capabilities are becoming portable. The rules around them are not.

Paul Swider will be speaking and working with AI, healthcare, and Microsoft communities across Massachusetts, Manila, Kuala Lumpur, and Nashville this September and October.

Each stop takes on a different part of the same governance problem.

The technical question is moving beyond which model an organization uses. What matters increasingly is what an AI capability can access, what actions it can take, where human approval belongs, and who remains accountable.

That is the conversation Paul will be carrying from one city to the next.
Build once. Govern everywhere.

We’ll be sharing session details, technical ideas, and takeaways from each stop over the coming weeks.

Happy Labor Day from the BOSHUG community! 🇺🇸

Today, we celebrate the people behind the ideas, systems, research, care, and technology that move our communities forward.

To the healthcare professionals, technologists, researchers, builders, partners, and innovators in our community, thank you for the work you do and the impact you continue to make.

We hope everyone gets a chance today to recharge, reconnect, and enjoy the holiday.

Boston AI Week starts with a table in Gloucester, and we would love to have you at it.

On Thursday, September 24, BOSHUG is bringing together 15 people at Wheelhouse Cowork Harborside for Under the Hood of Microsoft Scout.

We will get into the questions that deserve more than a quick demo: how Scout sits on the OpenClaw runtime, what governance looks like when agents carry their own identity and audit trail, and where Agent Plugins 1.0 could take the ecosystem next.

The room is intentionally small so everyone can ask, challenge, share, and learn from the people sitting beside them. Whether you work in healthcare, cloud, AI, security, governance, or you are simply trying to understand where agent technology is going, you are welcome in the conversation.

Tickets are $20 and include dinner from Virgilio's.

📌 Please remember: RSVPing on Meetup lets us know you’re interested, but your seat is only confirmed once you have an Eventbrite ticket.

Come curious. Bring your questions. Pull up a chair.

We hope you walked away with a new idea, a new connection, or something worth exploring further.

We’ll see you again on September 24 in Gloucester, MA for a special OpenClaw meetup celebrating Boston AI Week! 🦞🚀
