AGILE 2026 recap: Home turf, AI in home health.
Axxess Growth, Innovation and Leadership Experience, held in my hometown. I attended as AI & DevOps Architect at QliqSOFT, which sponsored the event, and talked shop on HIPAA-compliant AI at the booth.
Three conversations at the QliqSOFT booth.
Home health, hospice, private duty and specialty pharmacy teams.
Three days in Dallas.
May 4 covered workshops, EDGE certification trainings and the Welcome Reception. May 5 brought keynotes from Geeta Nayyar and Dave Copps, the Innovation Showcase, Distinction Awards and the Red Party at Dallas Museum of Art, with most of my time at the QliqSOFT booth.
May 6 closed with final sessions and booth hours, the best day for deeper architecture conversations.
What we talked about.
HIPAA-compliant LLMs in production
How QliqSOFT runs LLMs under BAA-covered models with zero PHI in training, with audit trails and architectural boundaries that keep AI usable in regulated care.
The QUINCY AI chatbot marketplace
No-code patient engagement: deploy an intake, reminder or bereavement chatbot in under a day.
Field-staff automation and safety
QliqCHAT's GPS alerting, on-call scheduling and caller-ID masking for clinicians in the field.
AGILE 2026 is the Axxess Growth, Innovation and Leadership Experience — an annual conference for the care-at-home industry (home health, hospice, private duty, specialty pharmacy). It runs May 4-6, 2026 at the Fairmont Dallas, with 70+ speakers, 150+ hands-on sessions, 40+ Innovation Showcase booths, and 30 CEUs available.
Girish is attending on behalf of QliqSOFT, which is a sponsor of AGILE 2026. As QliqSOFT's AI & DevOps Architect, he represents the technical and AI side — HIPAA-compliant LLM deployment, automation pipelines, and the AI chatbot marketplace inside the QUINCY platform.
QliqSOFT builds HIPAA-compliant patient engagement and clinical collaboration tools for care-at-home providers. Two flagship products: QUINCY (no-code patient engagement with secure texting, HIPAA forms, workflow automation, virtual visits, and an AI chatbot marketplace) and QliqCHAT (care team communication with HIPAA texting, GPS alerting for field staff, on-call scheduling, and caller-ID masking).
Three topics: (1) HIPAA-compliant LLM deployment — how QliqSOFT runs AI in regulated healthcare with BAA-covered models and zero PHI leakage; (2) the QUINCY AI chatbot marketplace — how agencies deploy bereavement, intake, and reminder chatbots in under a day; (3) field-staff automation and safety — including GPS alerting in QliqCHAT for nurses and clinicians working alone.
Book a 15-minute slot at the QliqSOFT booth via gkotte.com/calendar. Mention AGILE 2026 in the note. Girish will be on-floor primarily Tuesday May 5 and Wednesday May 6, with limited availability Monday afternoon.
Care-at-home executives and operators — clinical directors, VPs of operations, CIOs/CTOs, and owner-operators at home health, hospice, private duty, and specialty pharmacy agencies. Especially valuable if you're on Axxess or evaluating AI, patient engagement, or field-staff communication tools.
Announced keynotes include Geeta Nayyar, MD, MBA (physician-technologist focused on AI grounded in humanity, clinical insight, and trust) and Dave Copps (entrepreneur and CEO specializing in deep technology and AI transformation). 70+ additional speakers across breakout tracks.
