AI in healthcare

AI in healthcare: technology that doesn’t replace people, but makes them visible.

From lecturing at Amsterdam UMC to board tables at Radboudumc: I show how ethical, explainable AI makes talent visible that healthcare organisations can’t see yet.

Responsible AI already running in healthcare today.

As Chief Evangelist at 8vance, I work daily with hospitals and care organisations on AI that looks past CVs and job titles, matching on tasks, skills and potential. No science fiction, just evidence from daily practice.

My own experience: the nurse who turns out to fit a role nobody had imagined for her. That doesn’t happen by itself. It happens when you use AI to make potential visible, instead of automating for automation’s sake.

Labour shortages are real. At the same time, organisations often lack a clear picture of what people can do, what they can learn and where they could thrive. AI and a different distribution of work can help make better use of those possibilities.
