Global Innovators:
Simulation, Strategy, and the Southeast Asian Surge

In Episode 7 of DOCSF Global Innovators, we touch down in Singapore to meet Diomedes Kastanis, CTO of Microsoft Asia Pacific, and a systems thinker navigating one of the world’s most dynamic tech landscapes.

Set against the backdrop of Southeast Asia’s rapid digital leap, Diomedes shares why the future of healthcare hinges on strategic reinvention, not just smarter tools. He explores how AI-powered simulation transforms decision-making, why intuitive interfaces are the key for mass adoption, and how emerging economies are surging forward by leapfrogging legacy systems. With lessons on data governance, digital twins, and the psychology of change, this episode offers a peek at what it takes to lead healthcare transformation.
