For most of modern medicine, patients have been treated as data points inside someone else's system. Artificial intelligence risks locking that pattern in forever, unless we redesign the blueprint.

As a Senior Healthcare AI Researcher and Certified Patient Leader, my work sits directly at the center of that tension. I help health systems, clinical AI vendors, and research organizations move from "black box" tools that act on patients to governable systems that work with them—protecting clinical judgment and patient agency in the exact same motion.

📚 Published Thought Leadership

My approach is codified across three distinct works, written for every seat at the healthcare table:

"Subjects to Sovereigns: Reclaiming Medicine in the Age of AI" — The core argument for why medicine in the age of AI must be rebuilt around the people living with the consequences.

"The Sovereign Patient" — A practical guide for navigating complex systems with their clinicians, resolving clinical challenges, and reclaiming personal agency.

My Newest - "The Healthcare AI Governance Playbook" — This is The Institutional Toolkit of my Sovereign Health Series with actionable frameworks including the Sovereignty Test, protected clinical overrides, explicit stop rules, bias/drift validation, and patient-centered oversight.

💡 Why I Lead This Conversation

Lived Experience: A 20x medication overdose nearly killed me—years after a missed brain injury set the stage. I know firsthand what it means to be reduced to EHR data fields. I write, research, and build from the patient side of the gown.

Technical Rigor: 50+ certifications in Healthcare AI, Machine Learning, and Clinical Informatics from Stanford, Johns Hopkins, Yale, Wharton, Google, and IBM.

Institutional Footprint: Senior Researcher in Neural Data Privacy & AI at GenNeuroSociety Research Lab; HIMSS Global Proposal Review Task Force; Hospital Patient & Family Advisory Council (PFAC) member.

Enterprise Track Record: 25+ years leading digital transformation and $250M+ in client revenue, translated into AI governance that is clinically credible, operationally realistic, and humanly honest.
