Why I write about AI & healthcare

When you live with a chronic condition, you quickly learn two things:

  1. The healthcare system is not built for the long haul
  2. The future can’t come fast enough

That’s what brought me here.

After spending years navigating complex care systems — as a patient, caregiver, and advocate — I began looking for something more sustainable. Something that could bridge the gap between clinical precision and human needs.

That “something” turned out to be artificial intelligence.

But not the AI that floods your inbox or fills pitch decks.

I’m talking about AI as a partner in care — the kind that supports physicians, empowers patients, and learns to listen.

To make that vision real, I went back to school (a lot of them).

I’ve spent the last few years studying the intersections of technology, healthcare, and strategy through programs offered by institutions I trust, while also building and testing my own AI tools for patient support.

👋 Why This Matters

The world doesn’t need more tech for tech’s sake.

We need technology that understands care is a relationship, not just a record. That’s the standard I’m working toward, and why every insight I share here is shaped by both training and truth.
