About Angela

Angela Radcliffe is a dynamic speaker, best-selling author, and impact influencer who advocates for teaching children (ages 8-14)  health, data and AI literacy to provide them with the necessary skills and knowledge to thrive in a digitally connected world.

She’s the author of “Quantum Kids Guardians of AI”, an activity book that introduces elementary and middle school students to AI fundamentals through seven engaging missions. The book weaves concepts like neural networks, large language models, data ethics, and prompt engineering into relatable stories about school, social media, and robotics.

It empowers young readers to:

◆ Apply AI knowledge to homework and hobbies

◆ Navigate Internet safety

◆ Understand technology's role in addressing societal challenges

◆ Make informed decisions about health and personal data protection

With 20+ years of experience, Angela drives progress in medical research, healthcare marketing, and healthcare data and artificial intelligence. She understands the intricate interplay of trust, value, and risk in unleashing power from petabytes of data.

Frequently at the helm of global endeavors, including as  Head of Digital Performance Improvement and Innovation for Research and Early Development IT, Head of Enterprise Digital Strategy Innovation, and Head of Enterprise Data Governance at Bristol Myers Squibb, she's orchestrated transitions from molecular concepts to market-ready solutions and from boardroom strategies to tangible implementations that transform customers into champions.

Over the years, Angela has worked closely with thousands of patients participating in clinical trials, partnered seamlessly with tech luminaries and stood shoulder-to-shoulder with industry peers with a single focus: pushing, often pulling, clinical research and healthcare forward.

Angela’s compelling thought leadership combines technical insights on AI’s growing impact with her personal stories of overcoming adversity.  Her experiences such as growing up poor, leaving an abusive spouse, losing her 21-year-old brother to an undiagnosed heart condition, and raising a neurodivergent daughter fuel her mission to advance health, data and AI literacy.  This unique background and her stellar communications and interpersonal skills make her a sought-after speaker for podcasts and with life sciences, patient education, mental health, data privacy,  teacher and parent organizations.

“I believe we are responsible for ensuring humans and AI can coexist by insisting on ethics and equity.”

What I Do & Why It Matters

  • Data integrity, sovereignty, and protection are non-negotiable for me.  Unfortunately, the potential for misuse exists, which is why we must hold those who exploit our personal data for  unethical or criminal purposes accountable.

    Every piece of information should remain personal, transparent, and truly owned by the individual if we are to benefit as a society.

  • Data and AI literacy, are the new X-factors to ensure people become positive digital citizens, secure higher-paying jobs, help drive innovation, and take more control of their how their personal data gets used, and more agency over the choices they make when it comes to their lives, careers, and health. Though most of us already are in a relationship with data and AI, it’s both a journey and collaboration–it takes work, curiosity and willingness to learn.

    That’s why I’m committed to teaching AI literacy so we know how to protect ourselves from exploitative practices even as we continue to explore and develop ways to use AI to benefit humanity.

  • What do data and AI literacy have to do with healthcare and health literacy? AI technologies are already helping us solve complex problems, particularly in medical and scientific research. Only one in five people worldwide currently have the information they need to make educated decisions about their health. That is unacceptable. Given that the majority of people use the Internet to gain the information they need, data literacy, including knowing how to access, evaluate and distinguish credible sources of accurate, scientific information and data from questionable ones is the first step in helping people take charge of their health.

  • Data-driven and experiential research exposes the root causes of our most challenging societal issues such as poverty, climate change, racism, and disease., and AI is already helping to improve the quality of that research and solutions that evolve from it. AI is a force for Good as long as we take responsibility for how it is deployed and what we hope to achieve by insisting on transparency, inclusion, integrity, parity and enforceable ethical standards.

  • I have 20+ years of experience developing, and advancing patient-centric healthcare models, providing evidence-based care, and integrating adaptive health technologies to improve patient outcomes. Life sciences companies,  medical institutions, health tech firms and healthcare communications agencies hire me to lead, develop or advise on:

    ◆ Differentiated Investigator Meetings
    ◆ Clinical Research Study Rescue Strategy
    ◆ Emerging Study Delivery Model
    ◆ Digital Performance Improvement
    ◆ Data Governance and Stewardship Programs
    ◆ Patient Engagement, Advocacy & Research
    ◆ Health, Data, Generative AI & Digital Literacy Programs
    ◆ Innovation Coaching & Workshops
    ◆ SEAL Team Missions

Praise for Angela’s Insights & Capabilities

  • “This book is a must for any kid interested in tech as it gives a fun and enthralling way for them to engage with basic but important ideas about the increasingly prevalent tool of artificial intelligence (AI). It’s filled with super fun activities that are easy enough to be understood by an 8 year old but interesting enough to keep a teenager (or even older) engaged! And it’s so cool knowing that AI played a role in creating the whole story, though it’s clear 99% of the work was still human author-led.”

  • "You don't often find someone who can both envision and execute, this is where Angela shines. She knew the solution would not be adopted without change management across the org so she baked it in. Now our clinical scientists and data managers are finally working together."

    —CDO of a EU Based Pharma Firm

  • “This is a really interesting and engaging combination of story and activities. I've never seen anything like this, and I'm very impressed that they've been woven together to work so well here. I highly recommend having a look at this as it's very impressive and worth your time. 5/5!”

  • The go to book to explain Artificial Intelligence (AI) to kids, great for those interested in STEM!! "The question as to whether Artificial Intelligence and other advanced digital tools will impact our lives and our children's lives is now a foregone conclusion; the train has left the station! What we need in society, the market and our education system are tools such as this book to explain and introduce complex technological terms and processes easily. Angela Radcliffe has achieved a huge milestone in this time, advancing the conversation of AI and associated technologies in the mainstream discourse and that of our children - this is gigantic or giga for STEM. This book is a treasure trove for young readers keen on AI and a vital resource for parents and teachers seeking to kindle an interest in technology.”
