Health AI Governance Advisory is an independent educational and advisory initiative focused on sociotechnical governance of AI in healthcare
By combining evidence-informed insights from health informatics, implementation science, and AI governance, this initiative supports more responsible, practical, and sustainable approaches to AI use in healthcare.

Workshops & Masterclasses
For Healthcare Providers
Clinician-oriented education focused on human–AI interaction, workflow integration, cognitive burden, trust, usability, oversight responsibilities, and the practical realities of using AI safely and effectively in contemporary clinical practice.
For Health Leaders
Executive-focused sessions examining organisational readiness, governance maturity, accountability structures, implementation strategy, generative AI adoption, and the sociotechnical challenges associated with operationalising AI in healthcare environments.
For Researchers
Evidence-informed workshops and masterclasses exploring implementation readiness, translational barriers, and the operational realities that influence whether healthcare AI can succeed beyond pilot and research settings.
The Pain Points I Help You Navigate
About Me
Dr Robab Abdolkhani
I provide specialist expertise in Health AI governance, helping healthcare organisations safely integrate AI into clinical operations. Drawing on a PhD in Health Informatics and extensive research and industry experience in sociotechnical health AI systems, I bring a rigorous, evidence-based approach to assessing risk and operational readiness. Through governance framework design, data pipeline assurance, and comprehensive sociotechnical evaluation, I deliver practical oversight structures that ensure regulatory alignment, data integrity, and safe, transparent deployment. My advisory supports healthcare organisations to adopt AI confidently, responsibly, and at scale.
