At Shaper Capital’s AI in Healthcare Summit, Cohere Health’s Chief Data & AI Officer, Gigi Yuen‑Reed, PhD, joined a panel featuring AI leaders from Abridge, Google, Merck EMD Digital, and Carnegie Mellon University. Together, they explored how accurate healthcare decision‑making depends on nuanced, longitudinal patient context and validated data at scale.
The discussion highlighted how AI‑supported review workflows can help expert clinicians reach consensus more consistently, why operational design matters when organizations want to avoid overreliance on automation, and how structured human intervention keeps clinicians focused on high‑value oversight and complex cases rather than manual routine review.
Watch the on‑demand recording to hear how leaders across healthcare, research, and technology are approaching validated data, human-in-the-loop design and oversight, and the role of AI in building more defensible clinical and operational workflows.
