Julie Gilbert Speaks at 'Let's Talk: Women's Healthcare & AI'

On January 23, CEO and AI expert Julie Gilbert spoke at "Let's Talk: AI and Owning Your Own Health & Healthcare," a Let's Talk Women event. Alongside panelists Kristin Helton (CEO of Herself Health) and Katie Heacox (Privacy Officer of UCare), the discussion explored multiple dimensions of artificial intelligence in healthcare.

The panel addressed AI's anticipated future impact on women's healthcare, its current applications, and the two broad categories of AI implementation — those focused on growth and those focused on operational efficiency. Participants highlighted specific benefits to women's health across all life stages: faster disease diagnosis, more effective treatment options, prevention strategies, and scientific breakthroughs leading to new cures.

The conversation also examined privacy concerns and potential risks. The panelists emphasized the dangers of deploying AI without adequate operator expertise or ethical frameworks — particularly when solutions are rushed to market primarily for profit.

A central theme: encouraging individuals to take ownership of their health decisions by making strategically sound and morally defensible choices that leverage technology responsibly to advance women's wellbeing.
