Clearsense CEO, Jason Rose, shares insights on tackling technical debt in healthcare in a ViVE 2026 pre-conference interview with PharmaShots.  

In his exclusive ViVE pre-conference interview with PharmaShots, Jason Rose highlights why health systems must rethink sustainability beyond traditional cost-cutting. The real untapped financial lever? Technical debt reduction.​

Years of M&A activity and unchecked application growth have left many organizations with thousands of redundant or “zombie” systems. These legacy applications quietly drive up operating expenses, inflate cybersecurity remediation costs, and increase overall risk exposure. Reducing application sprawl can significantly lower cyber risk while eliminating millions in annual maintenance and compliance costs.​

Jason emphasizes that forward-thinking organizations are pairing disciplined application retirement strategies with strong data preservation models, ensuring historical clinical and compliance data remain accessible without maintaining costly legacy infrastructure.​

He also underscores that AI readiness begins with cleanup. By organizing and rationalizing legacy data, health systems create a stronger foundation for scalable, responsible AI initiatives. ​

At Clearsense, it’s always about driving client value faster, removing cost and risk while enabling smarter healthcare decisions.​
