How perceptions of AI’s potential usefulness relate to the intention to adopt it in healthcare.
PERSONAL ACADEMIC & RESEARCH WEBSITE
I’m Joey Navarro, pursuing doctoral study in Information Technology. My research focuses on the intention to implement artificial intelligence in healthcare, informed by my background in biochemistry, leadership, and pharmacy technology.
My academic interests connect healthcare, information technology, and the people who decide how new systems are used.
ACADEMIC BACKGROUND
I hold a Bachelor of Science and Arts in Biochemistry from The University of Texas at Austin and a master’s degree in Leadership and Change from St. Edward’s University, and I am pursuing doctoral study in Information Technology at Walden University. My healthcare experience informs the questions I ask about technology, organizational decisions, and implementation.
