Founder and principal consultant of Glass Box Medicine, a health care
AI consulting firm

At Duke: “I was the first person to earn an M.D. and a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Duke. My Ph.D. focused on AI and deep learning. My clinical experiences as a medical student informed my understanding of which AI solutions are the most impactful in health care, while my Ph.D. gave me the technical background necessary to build those solutions.”

Success: “For me, success in health AI looks like saving lives and improving human health with AI. I am also passionate about bridging the fields of health care, AI and business through my writing, to help professionals across these fields collaborate more effectively on impactful health AI initiatives. Lately, I’ve become especially interested in global maternal and neonatal health.”

The Future: “One of my goals this year is to write a book on health AI.”
