SUMMARY:AI and the Future of Healthcare (Panel)
DESCRIPTION:🚨 [REGISTER ON LUMA](https://luma.com/7foh0akk) 🚨 \nWill we even need doctors in five years\, or are we watching the birth of something radically new? This panel confronts the rapid rise of AI in medicine\, from AI-led diagnosis and robotic healing to empowered patients disrupting care models. \nBringing together an AI ethicist\, a cancer patient innovating with digital tools\, and a physician shaping future medical education\, the session explores whether artificial intelligence will make the doctor extinct—or challenge clinicians\, patients\, and technologists to invent a more compassionate\, intelligent partnership for tomorrow’s healthcare. \n**Panelists:**\n**Arpi Chalian\, MD**\n*Founder\, Chalian Consulting*\nDr. Arpi Chalian is dual board-certified in Pediatrics and Clinical Informatics. She drives healthcare transformation through digital innovation and AI\, advising startups and institutions such as Caltech’s Merkin Institute. \n**Burt Rosen**\n*Director Marketing Innovations at Oregon State University*\n*A guy with two types of cancer*\nBurt Rosen was diagnosed with pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors and renal cell carcinoma. Burt brings AI into his care\, using it to track labs\, understand imaging\, and make better decisions. \n**Janet Johnson\, Moderator**\n*Founder\, AI Governance Group*\nJanet Johnson is Founder of the AI Governance Group and an adjunct professor at Portland State University. Specializing in AI ethics and strategic risk management\, she guides organizations to harness AI responsibly \n**Special thanks to our event sponsor: [Boomi](boomi.com)**\n*In 2026\, the promise of AI in medicine—predictive diagnostics\, robotic care\, and personalized patient pathways—has collided with the reality of fragmented\, legacy-bound data. Healthcare organizations are shifting from “AI pilots” to “AI-at-scale\,” and they are discovering that **AI is only as good as the data feeding it.** Boomi serves as the essential **”Architecture of Trust\,”** providing the unified integration\, automation\, and governance layer that transforms raw\, siloed clinical and financial data into “activated\,” AI-ready intelligence.* \n*Boomi\, the leader in AI-driven automation\, enables organizations worldwide to connect everything\, automate processes\, and accelerate outcomes.
