Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare

Introduced by Jamie Alton.

Artificial intelligence transforms medicine by accelerating disease detection, automating administrative paperwork, and personalizing patient treatments.  Some of the challenges of AI in healthcare are the risk of algorithmic bias, data privacy concerns, and the need to maintain human empathy in care.

Dr. Christian Park is a Diagnostic Radiologist and Nuclear Medicine physician at Penn State Health, where he serves as Medical Director of Clinical AI for the Community Medical Practice Radiology and Virtual Health.  Dr. Park maintains a full-time active clinical practice, interpreting thousands of studies annually.

As Radiologist his practice includes CT, MRI, PET/CT, Ultrasound, and Nuclear Medicine (oncology/cardiac).

As a Director of AI of both Radiology and Virtual Health, he is an authority on AI algorithm errors, software liability, and standard of care in technology-assisted diagnosis.

His MBA and operational leadership roles provide expertise in hospital workflows, missed diagnoses due to system errors, and radiology administration.

Dr. Park combines the clinical precision of a clinical radiologist with the technical clarity of an operational leader. He can explain complex concepts—from PET/CT physics to AI "Black Box" errors.
