Recorded live at Cornell Ithaca. This is the extended cut of Dr. Sarah Matt's keynote on the central design flaw in modern healthcare: a system optimized for an "average" patient who does not exist.

When you build clinical workflows, EHR defaults, drug dosing tables, and AI training sets around a statistical mean, every patient outside that mean pays the cost in workarounds, missed diagnoses, and unsafe care. And most patients are outside the mean.

In this talk, Dr. Matt walks through:

- Where the "average patient" assumption shows up in clinical AI, and why it compounds bias instead of correcting it

- The design debt baked into EHRs, order sets, and risk calculators

- What health systems and physician leaders can do now to design for variance instead of pretending it away

- Why the patient we never designed for is the patient most likely to be harmed by the tools we are deploying next

Recorded live at Cornell. Audience Q&A included.
