I was honored to give the industry keynote at #CHITA2026 this morning at Center for Digital Health and Artificial Intelligence at Johns Hopkins (CDHAI). It was great to be on stage with Tej Shah, M.D., and thanks to Harang Ju for keeping the conversation grounded and moving. My talk focused on the gap between deploying AI in healthcare and actually achieving adoption at scale. Ambient AI is already changing how clinicians work, and agentic AI has the potential to take that even further. But the path from promising pilot to sustainable use is where many implementations struggle. Trust, workflow fit, and outcomes that clinicians actually feel are what determine whether the technology gets embraced or quietly abandoned. Thank you to conference co-chairs: Ritu Agarwal, Guodong (Gordon) Gao, Jeffrey McCullough, and Indranil Bardhan, and the program chairs: Weiguang Wang and Atiye Cansu Erol for the invitation and putting on such a high-quality conference. #CHITA2026 #CDHAI #Nabla #DigitalHealth #HealthAI #AmbientAI

🚨 𝗜𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗡𝗲𝘄𝘀: 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗪𝗲 𝗧𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗔𝗺𝗯𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗔𝗜 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝘁 𝗨𝗧𝗼𝗹𝗲𝗱𝗼 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 🏥 🎙️ I am incredibly proud to share that our team's work at UToledo Health has just been featured in Healthcare IT News! When we set out to implement ambient AI documentation, our goal wasn't just to deploy new technology; it was to fundamentally change the day-to-day lives of our clinicians. Seeing the tangible data validate this effort is a massive win for our entire organization. Here are the three biggest takeaways from our ambient AI journey highlighted in the article: 🔹 𝟭. 𝗖𝗿𝘂𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 "𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗿𝘁" 𝗕𝘂𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗻 The most significant metric of success isn't just word count; it is time. By utilizing ambient listening technology, we have seen a dramatic decrease in the number of open charts left at the end of the day. Clinicians are finishing their documentation during their shifts, not at their kitchen tables at 9:00 PM. 🔹 𝟮. 𝗘𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗗𝗼𝗰𝘂𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗤𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 Speed does not have to come at the expense of accuracy. The ambient AI captures the nuanced, natural conversations between the provider and the patient, translating them into highly structured, comprehensive clinical notes. We are seeing improved documentation quality that better reflects the complexity of the care provided. 🔹 𝟯. 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁-𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 This is the "human dividend" we always talk about. By removing the physical barrier of the keyboard and the cognitive burden of being a scribe, our providers are finally able to maintain eye contact and be fully present with their patients again. 💡 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗼𝗺 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗲: Technology in healthcare should be invisible to the patient and indispensable to the provider. This achievement proves that when deployed with careful governance and clinical alignment, AI doesn't distance us from our patients; it brings us closer. A massive thank you to our phenomenal clinical informatics team and our vendor partner, Nabla, for making this a reality!

I recently had the pleasure of speaking with Ritu M Uberoy on The Big Unlock Podcast. Our conversation focused on how AI is being integrated into real-world clinical workflows and what it actually takes to make that integration successful. In healthcare, technology has too often created unintended distance between clinicians and patients. What excites me about the current wave of AI, especially ambient technologies, is the opportunity to remove friction, reduce cognitive burden, and give clinicians more space to focus on what matters most: meaningful patient interactions. We also discussed the importance of change management and clinician trust. The technology is advancing rapidly, but adoption depends on how well it fits into workflows and whether clinicians are included from the beginning. I believe AI will continue to evolve from documentation support to deeper clinical decision support, but the human in the loop will remain essential. If we get this right, AI won’t feel like technology. It will simply feel like better care. 🎧 Listen here: https://lnkd.in/gWwHWgYH #AIinHealthcare #DigitalHealth #HealthcareTransformation #AmbientAI #Nabla #TheBigUnlock

Every company says they value communication—but this month Nabla showed they really mean it. I just wrapped up my first 1:1 French lesson through Lingoda GmbH, offered as part of Nabla’s investment in employee growth. My goal: communicate better with our French team, pick up some conversational phrases, and be ready for future travel. Fortunately for me, my instructor Aurélie laughed when “en s’casse” was my response to “what French do you already know?” and also honored my request to learn “That’s rude!” in the section where I learned to respond to questions about my age. Already looking forward to next week (flashcards ready for my upcoming travel ✈️)
