Signature keynotes
The same three signature talks lead the one-pager and the press kit. Every session is adapted to the audience's clinical setting, leadership priorities and AI maturity.
01 · SignatureAccountable IntelligenceWhere 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.
02 · SignatureAI That Survives the WorkflowWhy 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.
03 · SignatureSAFE AIA 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.

What organizers should know
Every session is educational and futurist. I do not promise clinical outcomes, and I do not sell software from the stage.
I customize. The more you give me about your incident data, your workflow pain points, and what your last AI session got wrong, the better the talk. Thirty minutes with two of your clinicians beforehand is worth more than any amount of slide polish.
Fees are quoted privately and are not listed on this site. Every date is confirmed in writing before it is announced.
