Dr. Frank C. Schuller has been undertaking research for the past several years on the implementation of clinical AI with the Jameel Clinic for Machine Learning in Health at MIT. His research has concentrated on impediments to adoption of AI technology in hospitals and healthcare centers. This research is an outgrowth of his research on surgical innovation at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford, England and his previous investigations into the innovation process and its evolution from a scientific invention to a commercial product or service. Dr. Schuller’s research examines economics with inherent ethical considerations of AI applications in healthcare systems in the United States and abroad.

As an economist, Dr. Schuller has published several articles on the implementation of clinical AI in hospitals in the United States and in countries around the world. His articles include economic analyses of AI applications that screen and predict the likelihood of a patient contracting cancer and the ethical implications of integrating medical AI into medical institutions. He has also written articles on strategic analysis for corporate strategy using clustering, an unsupervised AI algorithm. In supervising graduate students in economics, he has developed mathematical formulae with logistic regression to assess probabilities from disparate distributions.

Dr. Schuller received an MBA and a doctorate from Harvard University, where he taught in the Business School and in the Kennedy School of Government as a director of the Energy and Environmental Policy Centre.
