Pleased to have edited two Frontiers papers challenging assumptions in healthcare AI:
🔹 Same AI ethics, different safeguards.
doi.org/10.3389/fdgth.2026.1…
🔹 Immersive training ≠ intelligent learning.
doi.org/10.3389/fpubh.2026.1…
AI outputs ≠ unquestioned authority.

🌳 AI first? Data first? Ecosystem first!
People, data, AI and context co-evolve. Research, co-design and feedback help us understand and improve the whole system.

She was fit, healthy and just 43 years old, when a morning run left Kaley Kopper clinically dead for several minutes. Kaley survived a sudden cardiac arrest, thanks to quick-thinking strangers and a device that just happened to be close by.

AI doesn’t enter healthcare alone. It enters decisions, workflows, relationships and uncertainty.
That’s why I argue we need evidence on the human/AI system, not just the algorithm.

💥 What if evaluating AI is the wrong unit of analysis?
I argue that the human/AI system itself should become an object of evidence.
