2025 pushed a lot of teams past experimentation—and into real decisions.

This year at Chariot Solutions, we wrote about what we were seeing in real time:
• AI moving from novelty to infrastructure
• Developers designing systems, not just writing code
• Modernization becoming a prerequisite, not a roadmap item
• Leadership and collaboration mattering as much as tools

From AI agents and conversational interfaces to cloud platforms, data pipelines, and healthtech collaboration, our 2025 blog posts reflect the questions our clients and partners are asking right now.

We pulled it all together in one place: https://ow.ly/5tix50XQt7m

As we head into 2026, the shift is clear: experimentation is giving way to ex*****on and intentionality matters more than ever.

New data mapping from PolicyMap reveals a stark reality: In Southeast D.C., residents must cross the Anacostia River for system-affiliated care. In Natchitoches, Louisiana, three pediatricians serve 6,000 children.

When data visualization exposes healthcare deserts this clearly, the question shifts from "where are the gaps?" to "how do we bridge them?"

The answer lies in thoughtful technology implementation:
• Data Integration – Unifying EHRs, social determinants of health data, and community resources turns information silos into coordinated care networks
• AI-Powered Clinical Support – Intelligent systems can handle triage, preliminary assessments, and follow-up monitoring, extending the reach of overwhelmed providers
• Cloud-Based Telehealth – Connecting underserved communities with specialists across entire health system networks, not just nearby facilities
• Mobile-First Design – Meeting patients where they are with offline functionality and integrated scheduling for those facing transportation barriers

Technology alone won't solve healthcare access disparities. But when combined with policy changes and strategic resource allocation, health IT becomes the connective tissue that makes limited resources stretch further.

The data shows us where the gaps are. The challenge—and the opportunity—is building digital infrastructure that turns those insights into improved outcomes.

Is Java still the right choice in 2025? For Aaron Mulder, the answer is no.

After years in the Java community—including contributing to open source and the Java Community Process—our CTO now reaches for TypeScript and cloud-native tools when he's building something new.

In this clip, Aaron explains why he’s moved away from Java. From bloated backward compatibility to slower cloud startup times, the tradeoffs don’t feel worth it anymore.

Instead, he’s leaning into the simplicity of writing TypeScript across the stack, faster serverless deployment, and language ecosystems that match the pace of modern development.
Of course, every team and use case is different—and this is where the "right tool for the job" conversation gets real.

What languages are you reaching for in 2025 and why?

As 2025 comes to a close, we're grateful for the clients, partners, and team members who made this year one of growth, innovation, and collaboration.

We’re excited for what’s ahead in 2026 and we look forward to continuing to build, learn, and solve meaningful problems together.

Wishing you a restful holiday season and a bright start to the new year.

A Penn internist recently had a patient bring "Astrid" to her appointment—not a friend, but an AI chatbot. As Dr. Jeffrey Millstein shares in The Philadelphia Inquirer, this moment crystallized something many of us in health tech have been anticipating: AI is no longer a theoretical future for patient care. It's here, on patients' phones, in exam rooms.

And honestly? It makes sense. When appointments are two weeks out and patient portals are slow, people turn to what's available. AI chatbots are tireless, non-judgmental, and can synthesize vast amounts of information in seconds.

But Dr. Millstein raises critical cautions: these tools can hallucinate, they're designed to please rather than challenge, and they can't form the long-term collaborative relationships that define great primary care.

The key insight? Chatbots have far greater potential as doctor-patient partners, rather than alternatives.

This is exactly the kind of thoughtful implementation challenge we help our clients navigate at Chariot Solutions. Building AI-powered health tech isn't just about the technology—it's about designing systems that integrate with clinical workflows, maintain trust, and genuinely improve outcomes.

Whether you're developing ambient clinical documentation tools, AI-assisted triage platforms, or patient engagement solutions, the question isn't if AI will be part of healthcare—it's how we build it responsibly.

Many developers today are operating like mini venture capitalists, evaluating multiple ideas and projects, deciding which one to fully back.

Sujan Kapadia, Chief AI Officer, explains how AI agents are shifting the innovation landscape and why regions like Philly are now more empowered than ever to compete with Silicon Valley.

This clip comes from our recent event, What Does It Mean to Be a Developer in the Age of AI Agents?—a panel exploring how generative tools are transforming the software development lifecycle, team roles, and innovation workflows.

As we pause for the holiday, we're feeling thankful for the people who make Chariot what it is: our team, our clients, and our extended tech community.

Wishing you a warm and restful Thanksgiving from all of us at Chariot Solutions.

Before Stack Overflow. Before meetups. Before developer Twitter. There was Google and it changed everything.

Our Chief AI Officer, Sujan Kapadia, shares how discovering Google as an intern gave him an edge and why AI tools today offer that same kind of leap. They’re not perfect, but they can accelerate how product teams ideate, innovate, and develop. Fast.

That’s a productivity unlock developers can’t afford to ignore. At Chariot, we’re helping teams prepare for what’s next by integrating AI and intelligent agents to accelerate workflows and our decision-making.

From Mr. Potato Head LLMs to vintage video games and trailer life on the road—Chariot Day 2025 had it all.

Last week, our team came together to share what they’ve been thinking about and hacking on; whether it relates to the world of coding or something entirely different like a side project or hobby.

We filled the day with talks, live demos, and plenty of time to connect. Some of the highlights:
• Video Game Preservation Through Emulation with Steve Wood
• Awk and You with Dan Boykis
• When I Grow Up, I Wanna Be a General Contractor with Drew DeCarme
• Mr. Potato Head for LLMs with Sujan Kapadia
• Intro to Online Sports Betting with Mike Rappaport
• Travels with Tabitha with Keith Gregory

And of course… some well-earned hot takes over shared food and drink.

We’re proud of the work we do—but even more proud of the people behind it. Thanks to everyone who shared, presented, and participated. Here’s to more great work (and great stories) in 2026.

When some developers use AI agents and others don’t, productivity gaps start to emerge.

Sujan Kapadia, Chief AI Officer, explains why uneven adoption can become a hidden bottleneck and how teams can close the gap by experimenting, learning, and building with together.

This clip is from our recent event, What Does It Mean to Be a Developer in the Age of AI Agents? — a panel discussion exploring how AI coding assistants are reshaping the role of the developer, the software lifecycle, and engineering culture.

The AI conversation continues over coffee, just in time for the holidays.

Chariot’s Chief AI Officer, Sujan Kapadia, is joining the AI and Coffee Chat in the Technical. ly
newsroom to explore how AI coding agents are transforming not just how we build software but how we think about building.

He shares why this is a major shift. We're moving from computers as passive tools to systems that actually build tools for us. It’s similar to the leap from boxed software to downloadable apps, but now that transformation happens every time you prompt an agent.

Thank you to Christopher Wink and the Technical. ly team for creating space for this conversation with local AI practitioners.

Technically Media HQ, 601 Walnut St #1200 West, Philadelphia
Wednesday, Nov 26 from 9:00 to 10:00 AM
Space is limited. Reserve today.

If you’re interested in how AI agents are reshaping developer workflows, speeding up delivery, and redefining productivity, this is the conversation to join.
