John C. Malone Associate Professor Suchi Saria has been named a 2026 CNBC Changemaker in recognition of her use of AI to scale her startup, Bayesian Health, across 20 U.S. hospitals, significantly broadening predictive care capabilities and reducing sepsis mortality.
Per CNBC’s release, its third annual Changemakers list recognizes women who are transforming business and philanthropy, defying the odds by taking novel approaches to old business problems, and identifying new opportunities—“women who are succeeding, innovating and driving change at their organizations and beyond.”
Saria, who has joint appointments in the departments of Biostatistics and Health Policy and Management at the Bloomberg School of Public Health and in health system informatics at the School of Medicine, directs the university’s Machine Learning and Healthcare Lab. Her goal is to use sophisticated computer science and the deluge of data available in health care and other settings to individualize patient care and ultimately save lives.
