Chair ECR Board
Dr Aislinn Gomez Bergin is an RAi Transitional Assistant Professor at the University of Nottingham, Emerging Technologies Lead for NIHR MindTech HealthTech Research Centre, and Chair of the RAi ECR Board. She is an ECR representative on both the RAi Health and Social Care Working Group and the Public Engagement, Outreach, and Policy Committee. Her research is at the intersection of emerging technologies like XR and AI, and how these can be responsibly developed, evaluated, and implemented in the context of mental healthcare. She adopts an interdisciplinary and cross-sector approach to understand and overcome the challenges of their use to ensure that they bring real-world benefits to people and the health and social care ecosystem. This has involved adopting and adapting learning and frameworks from across disciplines and co-production with different stakeholders, from underserved communities to policymakers. Aislinn is a co-investigator on the RAi Keystone addressing the socio-technical limitations of Large Language Models, leading on Responsible Research and Innovation and the scoping of requirements criteria through engagement with diverse stakeholders.
