Art Papier

Dr. Art Papier is a Professor at Northeast Ohio Medical University (NEOMED) College of Medicine, where he serves as a national thought leader in clinical informatics. As an entrepreneur and physician, he has dedicated his career to improving diagnostic accuracy and healthcare equity through technology.

His primary research focuses on clinical informatics, diagnostic error reduction, and healthcare equity. Dr. Papier's work addresses critical gaps in medical decision-making by developing tools that help clinicians recognize patterns across diverse patient populations, particularly addressing the historical underrepresentation of conditions in people with darker skin tones.

Dr. Papier leads the VisualDx Research Group, which has developed a clinical decision support system that helps reduce diagnostic errors by providing visual references and diagnostic suggestions at the point of care. This technology specifically aims to overcome cognitive biases and improve diagnostic accuracy across all patient populations.

His work represents a significant contribution to addressing healthcare disparities through technological innovation, ensuring that diagnostic tools account for variations across different skin tones and ethnicities. Dr. Papier's approach emphasizes augmenting physician decision-making rather than replacing it, focusing on practical solutions that bridge the gap between medical knowledge and its application at the bedside.
