About the Authors

  • Dr. Theresa Kepic is a retired obstetrician-gynecologist who dedicated her career to patient-centered care and women’s health. Growing up in the Slovenian immigrant community of Waukegan, Illinois, the loss of her brother to leukemia inspired her to pursue medicine. She practiced obstetrics and gynecology throughout her career, including caring for veterans at the VA North Chicago Healthcare System. Her experiences caring for patients and navigating the challenges of clinical documentation helped shape many of the ideas presented in Bridging Worlds. She brings to the book the perspective that no algorithm can replace: the patient, the physician, and the human relationship between them.

  • Dr. Frank Naeymi-Rad is cofounder of Intelligent Medical Objects (IMO Health), where he helped build the clinical terminology infrastructure now embedded in the majority of electronic health record systems. A pioneer in medical informatics with more than fifty scientific publications and eleven patents, he serves as Executive Chairman and CEO of Leap of Faith Technologies, where he is developing the next generation of AI-enabled healthcare platforms.
