For Alexander Khalessi, MD, chief innovation officer at UC San Diego Health, scaling AI in healthcare requires more than enthusiasm.
“When you have the ambition to build something without precedent, it’s critical to lean into the combined capabilities, expertise, and infrastructure that makes your institution special,” he said.
Dr. Khalessi was appointed chief innovation officer at UC San Diego Health in December. In this role, he oversees innovation strategy across the seven-campus health system and the academic health sciences enterprise.
