Arthur "Art" Douville Jr., MD
Physician. Clinical Executive. Clinical Validator.
Chief Medical Officer, Medigram
Co-Founder & Co-Chair, Clinical Integration, Trustworthy Technology & Innovation Consortium
Arthur "Art" Douville Jr., MD, is a practicing, board-certified neurologist, published author, experienced health-system executive, and Chief Medical Officer of Medigram.
His work sits at the point where consequential technology meets clinical responsibility: ensuring that AI and advanced technologies entering healthcare remain grounded in patient safety, clinical judgment, ethical practice, and accountable human oversight.
From the bedside to the health system
Dr. Douville has spent his career caring for patients while helping healthcare organizations improve how physicians, clinical teams, and systems work together.
He has served as Chief Medical Officer for two health systems, successfully built clinical service lines, and led work to strengthen physician citizenship, engagement, and accountability.
That experience shapes his approach to technology. Healthcare AI cannot be evaluated only by whether a model performs technically. It must work safely within real clinical environments, support the people responsible for patient care, and preserve clear accountability for consequential decisions.
Validating AI with clinical judgment inside the process
Dr. Douville combines frontline clinical practice with direct participation in clinical validation.
At Medigram, he works directly with the engineering team as it builds, confirming that what is built is clinically relevant, fits real clinical workflow, and reflects clinical judgment, ethical considerations, and patient-safety priorities before it reaches a clinician.
His work contributes to Medigram's development of governance and evidence infrastructure for consequential AI decisions in healthcare and pro sports.
The objective is practical: enable institutions to use powerful technology while maintaining evidence of how consequential decisions were governed, what information supported them, and where human authority and clinical responsibility reside.
Clinical oversight for trustworthy technology
Dr. Douville is also Co-Founder and Co-Chair of Clinical Integration at the Trustworthy Technology & Innovation Consortium (TTIC), an independent standards consortium of practitioners and investors across medicine, cybersecurity, engineering, standards, law, operations, and finance.
Through TTIC, he advances product-neutral approaches to trustworthy technology, accountable human authorization, clinical oversight, and responsible implementation.
His perspective is grounded in a simple principle: technology should strengthen the ability of clinicians and healthcare institutions to serve patients, not separate technological capability from clinical responsibility.
A physician inside the build
AI is changing healthcare faster than traditional organizational boundaries can accommodate.
Dr. Douville brings together perspectives that are often separated: practicing physician, neurologist, health-system executive, clinical operator, published thought leader, and clinical validator of technology.
As a returning AIMed contributor, he brings that combined perspective to the responsible adoption of AI in healthcare and to the larger question facing health systems today:
How do we capture the benefits of increasingly capable technology while protecting the clinical judgment, ethical responsibility, and human accountability on which patient care depends?
For Dr. Douville, those are not competing objectives. Making sure the systems built for healthcare achieve both is the work.
