Quotes
“The book is surprisingly vivid and relatable for a topic that often feels dry. Blackstone keeps circling back to real people, not abstract ‘patients,’…It’s also a good fit for thoughtful general readers who are willing to wrestle with some policy detail in return for a bigger picture of where health care might go. If you want a passionate, informed argument about how we could rebuild health care around trust, culture, and smart tools, Doctor AI is well worth your time.” Literary Titan Book Review

She is dedicated to improving patient care, making it trustworthy, effective, and affordable. She observes that citizens have the right to good healthcare, noting that American is falling behind its peers. The information makes for sober reading, with the USA faring poorly, despite having the highest spending relative to GDP.” Leonard Smuts for Readers’ Favorite
“Blackstone’s forward-thinking debut tackles the failings of America’s health care system and offers a unique answer: Health 4.0—a system that functions on both human and artificial intelligence—‘built for precision, personalization, and participation.’ Blackstone’s blueprint revolves around trust—restoring trust in the medical system, building trust between patients and AI, and ‘ensuring that algorithms serve human health, not institutional convenience or corporate profit.’” Booklife
