About

Teera Price

I spent twenty years inside healthcare before AI was the job. I now lead health AI safety product work, holding systems to a bar where more than 99 percent of outputs have to pass human review, and I run this advisory practice helping leadership teams in regulated industries adopt AI without creating problems their compliance officers have to clean up.

Background

The reason I can answer regulated-industry AI questions is that I have been on both sides of them: two decades operating inside healthcare, then building and shipping AI where being wrong carries real consequences.

  1. Kaiser Permanente

    Healthcare operations and strategy

    Six years inside one of the largest integrated health systems in the country, learning how care actually gets delivered and paid for.

  2. Huron Consulting

    Healthcare consulting

    Provider performance work, including the revenue cycle and cost structure problems that still drive most health system economics.

  3. McKinsey & Company

    Associate Partner, healthcare analytics

    Led healthcare analytics work serving 9 of the 10 largest US health systems. This is where the structured problem solving and executive communication came from.

  4. Suki

    AI product leadership

    Voice AI for clinicians, with five health system partnerships. First-hand experience of how clinical staff actually adopt or reject an AI tool.

  5. Verily

    AI product leadership, Alphabet

    Shipped a large language model product in a regulated environment with legal, privacy, and security sign-off. Enrollment rose 44 percent and bounce fell 48 percent.

  6. AI safety, current

    Product leadership

    Accountable for the clinical safety and legal risk strategy of a health AI system, held to a bar where more than 99 percent of outputs have to pass human review. I designed the evaluation methodology, human review, model-assisted judging, and release gating, that regulated AI deployment requires.

How I work

“AI fluency is not about becoming a technologist. It is about using the tools well enough to lead your team and your organization. These are instruments for amplifying judgment, not replacing it.”

My approach combines analytical rigor with hands-on AI experience. I believe in learning by doing, so every session involves real work, real tools, and outcomes you can apply the same week. Participants have hands on keyboard throughout.

The compliance question gets answered inside every exercise rather than bolted on as a warning at the end. That is the part generic AI training cannot do, and it is the reason regulated organizations bring me in.

No technical background is required. This is designed for leaders who have not previously had a judgment-free place to build these skills, and who would rather not learn them in front of their teams.

Engagement logistics

The practical questions people ask before reaching out.

Formats
Four 60- to 90-minute sessions over four to eight weeks. In person or virtual.
Group size
4 to 8 senior professionals. Smaller for a leadership team, larger for a department.
Who attends
Leadership teams, practice groups, and the executives who sponsor them.
Preparation
Intake beforehand so exercises use your real deliverables, not toy examples.
Verticals
Healthcare first, legal second. Other regulated settings case by case.
Delivery
Every engagement is led by me personally.
