Dra. Lina Bouayad

Lina Bouayad, Ph.D., is a healthcare AI systems architect and engineering-driven innovator focused on building the next generation of intelligent health infrastructure. As Co-Founder & CEO of Top Health AI, she designs AI-powered platforms that streamline clinical workflows, accelerate triage and time-to-treatment, and reduce administrative burden across specialty care—turning fragmented processes into coordinated, scalable systems. With more than 15 years of experience in artificial intelligence, healthcare informatics, and data governance, Dr. Bouayad combines deep technical expertise with systems-level strategy. She has served as a co-investigator on federally funded research initiatives totaling over $5 million through the NIH, VA, and HSR&D, advancing ethical AI, data quality, and algorithmic fairness in healthcare. A former Associate Professor and Director of the MBA in AI at Florida International University and former Visiting Scientist at Yale School of Medicine, she has worked at the forefront of responsible AI design across academia and health systems. Dr. Bouayad’s work centers on one critical question: how do we build AI that clinicians trust, organizations can sustain, and global health systems can scale? At the intersection of engineering, workforce transformation, and responsible innovation, she is redefining how intelligent platforms are architected for real-world impact.
