Dr. Lily Peng is a physician-scientist who works on making AI practical, helpful and delightful for users with health-related use cases. Before Apple, she was a Director of Product for the Health AI teams at Google and then Verily, applying AI to enable better and more equitable care. Her papers have been published in JAMA, Nature, Nature Medicine, and Nature Biomedical Engineering.

She graduated with an MD, PhD in Bioengineering from the University of California, San Francisco and a BS in Chemical Engineering from Stanford. She co-founded Vivani Medical, a drug delivery device company, and was a Product Manager at Doximity. She has been named in Fortune magazine’s 40 Under 40 in Health Care, and Wired magazine’s list of 20 People Who Are Creating the Future.

Isaac “Zak” Kohane, MD, PhD, is the inaugural chair of Harvard Medical School’s Department of Biomedical Informatics, whose mission is to develop the methods, tools, and infrastructure required for a new generation of scientists and care providers to move biomedicine rapidly forward by taking advantage of the insight and precision offered by big data. Kohane develops and applies computational techniques to address disease at multiple scales, from whole health care systems to the functional genomics of neurodevelopment.

He also has worked on AI applications in medicine since the 1990’s, including automated ventilator control, pediatric growth monitoring, detection of domestic abuse, diagnosing autism from multimodal data and most recently assisting clinicians using whole genome sequence and clinical histories to diagnose rare or unknown disease patients.

His most urgent question is how to enable doctors to be most effective and enjoy their profession when they enter into a substantial symbiosis with machine intelligence. He is a member of the National Academy of Medicine, the American Society for Clinical Investigation and the American College of Medical Informatics.
