Let's Talk
Michael David Harris - Technology Consultant

My Story

My career has been defined by pioneering work at the intersection of technology and real-world impact. From launching a memory and processor accelerator manufacturer to co-founding iREZ Research and introducing breakthrough video conferencing solutions for Apple Macintosh, to developing award-winning camera systems as CTO at PAR Technologies, I've consistently pushed the boundaries of what's possible. For past 24 years as Chief Innovation Officer and Fellow at GlobalMed, I lead telemedicine innovations that integrate AI and Large Language Models to identify patient wound care. My work with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs has allowed me to deploy intelligent systems that enhance patient interaction while ensuring HIPAA compliance.

With over 10 issued patents in medical devices and technology, I understand the importance of protecting innovation while bringing products to market. My certifications as a HIPAA Administrator (CHA) and Project Management Professional (PMP) reflect my commitment to excellence in both regulatory compliance and project execution.

I believe in the transformative power of technology when applied thoughtfully. Whether developing AI-driven healthcare solutions, designing medical devices, or guiding patent strategy, I bring practical experience and strategic thinking to every challenge.
