Jalen Benson

At the University of Pennsylvania Health System, I managed 70+ patients weekly across operative, inpatient, and outpatient settings while using Epic-integrated AI documentation tools daily. I bring a practitioner's lens to evaluating clinical AI, identifying failure modes such as lost nuance and plausible but inaccurate outputs.

I've translated clinical evidence, workflow realities, and stakeholder needs into decisions across a medical device startup, the U.S. Senate HELP Committee, the Black Economic Alliance, and Governor Josh Shapiro's transition team. My work has informed product positioning, federal health policy, and implementation-ready health, workforce, and human services frameworks.

I'm also a published population health researcher with 25+ peer-reviewed publications and the founder of a 6,000+ member national public health organization. I’m focused on bringing clinical, policy, and care-delivery context to health AI products.
