About

Enrico Coiera is a pioneering figure in biomedical informatics, whose work has fundamentally shaped how artificial intelligence is integrated into clinical practice and healthcare systems. His research spans the critical intersection of AI, human-computer interaction, and health communication, with a particular focus on understanding how different stakeholders—including clinicians, patients, and managers—perceive and adopt AI technologies. Coiera’s landmark study on stakeholder attitudes toward AI in clinical practice (2021, 179 citations) provides essential insights into the social and behavioral barriers that can constrain AI acceptance, offering a roadmap for developers and policymakers. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he demonstrated AI’s potential in public health crises, exploring its role in diagnosis, surveillance, and resource allocation. His earlier work on translational web robots for pathogen genome analysis (2011) showcased his long-standing commitment to bridging computational methods with clinical decision-making. With a career spanning decades, Coiera has been instrumental in advancing evidence-based health informatics, authoring foundational texts and guiding the ethical deployment of AI in medicine. His contributions continue to shape how technology can safely and effectively support human judgment in healthcare.
