Michelle Yeung

DPhil in Translational Health Sciences, 2022

Michelle completed a Bachelor of Health Sciences at McMaster University, an MSc in Medicine, Health and Public Policy at King’s College London, and an MPhil in Medical Anthropology at the University of Oxford.

Her DPhil research explores how AI-enabled innovations can be most effectively and equitably integrated into complex healthcare systems like the NHS. Using AI diagnostic tools in skin cancer care as a case study, her work examines how clinicians, patients, and organisations experience, adapt, and negotiate the use of these technologies in practice. Drawing on implementation science and sociotechnical systems thinking. She is particularly interested in how innovation can be introduced in ways that reduce-rather than reinforce-existing inequities in access, representation, and outcomes.
