Columbia Business School’s Carri Chan wrote in MedCity News about how artificial intelligence can expand access to healthcare, particularly in improving colorectal cancer detection. Chan emphasized that while AI can enhance screening and outreach—such as through machine learning-guided interventions—its effectiveness depends on integrating technology with human action and healthcare systems. Drawing on her research, “Cancer Screening Outreach Guided by Machine Learning: The Benefits of Proactive Care,” she highlights how proactive, data-driven approaches can improve patient outcomes and increase access to preventive care.
