Voices of the athenaInstitute

Richard Barnwell leads the engineering teams building the technology behind better ambulatory care. As an athenaInstitute co-chair, he sets the research agenda at the intersection of engineering capability and clinical impact. He holds innovation to a demanding standard: does it actually remove barriers to care, or add new ones? His athenaInstitute work explores AI, interoperability, care coordination, and what health technology must get right to earn trust in practice.
