A speaker who has been in the room.
Most AI-in-healthcare talks come from one side of the divide — the technologist's or the clinician's. Dr Tham speaks from the overlap: he reads scans in the morning, sits on governance committees in the afternoon, and builds with the technology in between.
Practising Clinician
20+ years at the workstation
Senior Consultant Radiologist and Clinical Director at Parkway Radiology, IHH Healthcare — subspecialty MSK and interventional radiology. The examples in his talks come from a live worklist, not a literature review.
Governance Insider
In the room where rules are made
Founding Executive Committee member of RADII — the radiology AI subcommittee of the Singapore Radiological Society — and an AMIA-trained clinical informatician engaged with Singapore's AI in Healthcare Guidelines.
Hands-On Builder
Speaks tech fluently
Generative-AI collaborations with technology partners including AWS, published thinking on SSRN, and self-built AI projects. Comfortable on a stage with engineers, executives, or clinicians — and translating between them.
Topics ready for your stage.
Each talk is adapted to the audience — clinical, technical, or executive — and drawn from Dr Tham's published writing and day-to-day practice.
01
Where is this AI smart? Jagged intelligence and clinician trust
The same model that passes a radiology board exam cannot reliably tell you that 9.9 is bigger than 9.11. Why credential-style benchmarks mislead clinicians, how trust should actually be calibrated, and how to test AI on your own cases — not the vendor's.

02
Who owns the algorithm? Accountability across the AI lifecycle
When an AI tool underperforms in clinic, the first question is rarely technical — it is "whose job was this?" Developers, deployers, and users through the lens of Singapore's AI in Healthcare Guidelines 2.0, and how to name ownership before deployment rather than litigate it after.

03
Surviving contact with the workflow
Most AI implementations fail not because the model is wrong but because the workflow around it never changed. What integration actually requires: friction mapping, governance structures, clinician training, and post-deployment monitoring that outlives the pilot.

Workshop
04
Throw punches — AI as a sparring partner
Based on Dr Tham's SSRN position paper: the real prize of AI is not information access but interactive challenge. A K-shaped divergence is opening between those who use AI to avoid thinking and those who use it to think harder — with direct consequences for how we train the next generation of clinicians.

05
The radiologist in the loop — judgment in the age of automation
Drawn from 16 years in private practice: as automation takes over more of the imaging workflow, the judgment of the person in the seat becomes more consequential, not less. What that means for practice models, staffing, and the subspecialist's role.
