A Personal Note

Progress in healthcare doesn’t come from innovation alone. It comes from listening closely to where systems break down in real life, and being honest about what patients and clinicians actually need.

I’ve spent my career working at the point where big ideas meet real-world care: hospitals under pressure, teams trying to do the right thing, and technologies that promise a lot but don’t always deliver. In healthcare, the standard is different. Tools have to earn trust. They have to reduce the burden, not add to it. And they have to improve outcomes for the people they are meant to serve, not just perform well in theory.

That lens shapes everything I do, whether advising on responsible AI, shaping digital health governance, or speaking with leaders who are trying to build systems that work better, not just faster. Innovation matters only when it strengthens care, expands access, and holds up in the environments where people actually live.

Outside of work, I’m continually reminded that healthcare is never abstract. It is personal, daily, and deeply human. That is exactly why the future of medicine has to be built with clarity, accountability, and care.

My work sits at the intersection of clinical medicine, technology governance, and large-scale healthcare delivery.

Over more than twenty years, I’ve cared for patients, led national clinical programs, and helped shape how digital health and AI are evaluated, regulated, and deployed across the U.S. healthcare system. I believe that innovation should be practical, evidence-informed, and grounded in day-to-day realities. It should make care earlier, clearer, and more actionable; not more complicated or operator-free.

Dr. Ami b. Bhatt

is Chief Medical Officer at WHOOP and Chair of the FDA Digital Health Advisory Committee. A Harvard and Yale-trained cardiologist, formerly Chief Innovation Officer at the American College of Cardiology and a physician at Massachusetts General Hospital, she has built her career across clinical medicine, institutional leadership, and the governance of technology in healthcare.

As Chief Medical Officer at WHOOP, Dr. Bhatt leads the clinical and scientific strategy behind continuous physiologic monitoring, working to turn everyday wearable data into something clinicians can trust and patients can act on. As Chair of the FDA Digital Health Advisory Committee, she helps set the regulatory standards that shape how AI tools enter clinical practice.

Her authority comes from decades spent in healthcare systems: designing telecardiology programs for underserved communities, leading outcomes-based research, and building the infrastructure that lets innovation scale without leaving patients behind. At the ACC, as its Chief Innovation Officer, she launched the Apple Watch Clinician and Patient Tool and the AI-Enabled Clinician initiative, and built partnerships across federal agencies, technology companies, and medical societies to keep the voice of cardiology in the room where decisions get made.

Dr. Bhatt speaks to boardrooms and keynote stages, contributes to national policy, and has worked internationally to advance equitable, evidence-grounded digital health. What drives her is straightforward: high-quality care that works, for everyone it was built to serve.

What I Focus On

AI in Real Clinical Practice

Designing AI that supports clinicians and strengthens decision-making, without adding friction to workflows.

Patient Agency

Designing systems that give individuals clarity, understanding, and a meaningful role in their own health.

Care Where People Are

Scaling models that bring high-quality care closer to everyday life, especially in underserved or hard-to-reach communities.

Early Detection & Digital Twins

Using data and modeling to identify risk earlier and personalize prevention in practical, actionable ways that fit with clinical workflow and give patients the agency they deserve.

Equity by Design

Building technologies and systems that broaden access, avoid bias, and serve diverse patient populations.
