Dr. Bradley J. Erickson

Dr. Bradley Erickson is a Professor of Radiology at Mayo Clinic, Director of the Mayo Clinic AI Lab, and CEO of FlowSigma. With dual MD and PhD degrees from Mayo Medical and Graduate School, he has spent over three decades pioneering medical imaging informatics and artificial intelligence research, mentoring 80+ trainees along the way.

His work bridges clinical practice, cutting-edge research, and real-world implementation—from leading Mayo Clinic's transition to filmless and paperless operations to developing deep learning algorithms that transform how physicians diagnose and treat disease.

My mission is to bridge the gap between cutting-edge AI research and practical clinical implementation. Too many promising AI tools fail at deployment—not because the algorithms are inadequate, but because they ignore the realities of clinical workflows, physician trust, and patient safety.

Through NeoSynapse.md, I aim to educate the next generation of clinicians on how to critically evaluate AI, demand transparency from vendors, and advocate for tools that genuinely improve patient care—not just boost metrics in research papers.

At FlowSigma, we're building the infrastructure to make medical AI work in practice: embedded workflows, automated quality checks, and systems that respect how physicians actually work. Because the future of medicine isn't about replacing clinicians—it's about empowering them with intelligent, reliable tools that let them focus on what matters most: healing.
