About

John Maltby’s research sits at the intersection of artificial intelligence and geriatric healthcare, with a particular focus on how AI can be meaningfully integrated into clinical practice for older populations. His most-cited work, “Artificial Intelligence in the healthcare of older people” (2020, 20 citations), critically examines the gap between AI’s theoretical promise and its limited real-world deployment, highlighting successes in rare diseases, oncology, and pathology while questioning why broader applications remain elusive. This paper has become a key reference for scholars and clinicians seeking to understand the barriers to AI adoption in aging-related care. Maltby’s contributions are notable for their balanced perspective—neither overhyping AI’s potential nor dismissing its value—and for grounding technological discussions in the practical realities of patient outcomes. His work has influenced how researchers approach AI implementation in geriatric settings, emphasizing the need for rigorous, evidence-based integration. For students and researchers exploring AI in healthcare, Maltby’s scholarship offers a clear-eyed, critical framework that challenges assumptions and encourages thoughtful innovation.
