Protecting Populations. Equipping Health Leaders. Evaluating AI Systems with Purpose.
AI Ethics & Strategy
Artificial Intelligence is already transforming healthcare. Without intentional design and oversight, it could exacerbate the very inequities our health systems aim to fix. At Smith Hill Global Consulting, we support health systems, public health agencies, and professional associations in ethically integrating AI to protect populations, reduce systemic bias, and align digital transformation with equity and public accountability.
Urgent Challenges We Help You Solve
Most health systems are implementing AI tools faster than they can evaluate them for bias.
AI Bias in Diagnostic Tools
Concerned about whether your AI diagnostic tools are perpetuating healthcare disparities?
We provide comprehensive bias detection frameworks and vendor evaluation protocols.
Board-Level AI Governance
Board asking tough questions about AI governance and liability?
We develop executive-ready policies and risk management frameworks that satisfy both leadership and regulatory requirements.
Vendor Evaluation Frameworks
Implementing new AI vendors without proper evaluation criteria?
Our assessment tools help you ask the right questions and identify red flags before they become problems.
