2026 Douglas C. Montgomery Distinguished Lecture
New technologies promise to transform health care and humanitarian assistance. But real-world conditions often complicate those ambitions. This talk explores why data, automation and digital tools don’t always translate smoothly into effective action on the ground. Using real examples and case studies, Dr. Yuehwern Yih will show how human judgment, local context and environmental uncertainty shape outcomes, and why designing technology with people and place in mind is essential for creating solutions that actually work.
