Background

Delaney La Rosa is a professor of AI in healthcare whose work spans medicine, nursing, pharmacy, allied health, and every discipline that touches patient care. Her research and teaching focus on the responsible integration of artificial intelligence into clinical practice and health professions education — examining not just what AI can do, but what it should do, and under what conditions human judgment must remain sovereign.

She has delivered keynotes and workshops for health systems, academic medical centers, schools of health professions, and national professional associations. Her approach is grounded in clinical reality, not vendor enthusiasm — she has never accepted sponsorship from AI companies and maintains full editorial independence.
