Speech Topics
Accountable Intelligence (signature)
Where AI should lead, and where humans stay accountable. As AI moves from suggestion to action inside hospitals, someone still owns the outcome. Harvey helps boards and executives decide which decisions AI can carry, which stay with clinicians, and who answers when a model is wrong. Leaders leave with clear lines of ownership before the next deployment.
AI That Survives the Workflow (signature)
Why healthcare AI pilots stall, and how leaders move from demo to durable adoption. Workflow, trust, safety, governance, incentives and measurement decide whether an AI project lives past the pilot. Harvey walks leaders through each one with cases from the emergency department.
SAFE AI (signature)
A physician-led framework for responsible healthcare AI. How to weigh risk, involve clinicians, protect patients, monitor performance and keep a human in charge as AI scales. Drawn from his TEDxBabsonCollege talk.
The Human Advantage (on request)
Physician leadership in the age of AI. Judgment, empathy, communication and trust become more valuable as machines improve. A leadership talk for clinical and executive audiences.
Before the Emergency (on request)
Predictive medicine, digital twins and anticipatory care. How AI, biosensors and continuous monitoring can help clinicians spot deterioration earlier, without overstating what current tools reliably do.
Healthcare at the Edge (on request)
AI, satellites and distributed technology. Care when expertise, connectivity or infrastructure is limited, from rural clinics to orbit. Informed by his work at Phantom Space.
