Conversations on the Business of Health Webinar Series – The Joys and Sorrows of Incorporating Artificial Intelligence into Healthcare Delivery
Department and Center Events
Hopkins Business of Health Initiative
About the Event
Artificial intelligence (AI) has become an integral part of health care delivery, as evidenced by the FDA's approval of more than 300 medical AI systems by June 2021. Many people now believe that, “AI will not replace physicians, but physicians who use AI will replace physicians who don't.” Yet, incorporating AI into health care delivery calls for a rethink and redesign of day-to-day workflows, an undertaking that most health care systems are not ready for. This webinar features leading experts who have worked with clinicians in implementing AI in clinical practice to discuss the challenges and opportunities for business and AI researchers, as well as clinical practitioners.

Her main research interest is in understanding how people span organizational, professional, cultural, and other boundaries while producing and using technological innovations. Currently, her studies focus on the evaluation and adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in medicine, open innovation projects, theories of smart contracts, and firm-community relationships in crowdsourcing. A large part of her prior research has focused on strategies and tactics relating to global sourcing of expertise, content, and ideas.
