معرفی
Roy Rosin, MBA, is Board Partner at First Round Capital and served from 2012-2024 as Chief Innovation Officer at Penn Medicine and Senior Fellow at the Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics, University of Pennsylvania. An innovation executive rather than a tenure-line academic, he nonetheless leads large NIH- and PCORI-funded research programs, has published >70 peer-reviewed articles since 2015, and teaches Wharton Executive Education courses on business-model innovation and health-care leadership.
Education:
- MBA, Stanford Graduate School of Business
- AB, cum laude, Harvard College
Research & Innovation Focus:
Rosen’s work sits at the intersection of behavioral economics, digital health, and rapid-cycle implementation science. His team has designed, piloted, and scaled more than 150 technology-enabled care-delivery interventions that measurably reduce readmissions, emergency-department use, medication non-adherence, and clinician burden while increasing screening rates, patient engagement, and use of high-value care sites. Key methodological themes include text-message–based coaching, conversational AI agents, financial & social-incentive design, and workflow automation inside large health systems.
Publication Trends:
Across 50+ recent papers he consistently pursues patient-facing digital interventions—chatbots for oncology adherence, SMS programs for maternal health, automated triage tools, and incentive trials for distracted driving—demonstrating a cross-disciplinary portfolio spanning oncology, obstetrics, ophthalmology, dermatology, emergency medicine, and population-level behavioral prevention.
Honours & Recognition:
- Becker’s “30 Great Chief Innovation Officers to Know” (2022)
- Three separate CHIBE papers named among the Top-20 Clinical Research Achievement Awards by the Clinical Research Forum (2025)
Advising & Grant Leadership:
Although individual PhD students are not listed, Rosin directs multi-million-dollar implementation trials (e.g., NIH “iSMART”, PCORI opioid-use disorder studies) collaborating with dozens of faculty, fellows, and data scientists across Penn’s medical school, engineering, and Wharton. He mentors start-up founders nationally and serves as executive-in-residence for Wharton’s Health Care Management program.
Labs & Teams:
As Penn Medicine’s inaugural CIO he built the “Innovation Accelerator,” an internal consultancy that applies design-thinking, Lean Start-up, and behavioral economics to clinical operations. The group includes data scientists, UX researchers, software engineers, and quality-improvement specialists who co-design interventions with frontline clinicians and patients; many projects transition into routine operations or spin out as commercial ventures.
