The book

Doctor AI

Reimagining Healthcare, Rebuilding Trust, Delivering Health 4.0

American healthcare is in crisis — costly, fragmented, and losing public trust. In Doctor AI, physician and innovator Robin Blackstone argues that technology alone cannot repair what’s broken, but that AI, combined with digital health innovation and accountable governance, can rebuild trust and — for the first time — establish autonomy as a guiding principle in medicine.
