General Practitioner, Astra Health
For Dr Ashish Wadhawan, a GP in Sydney with more than a decade of diverse medical experience, the promise of AI isn’t abstract – it’s part of his daily practice.

Ashish’s interest in AI started years earlier as an Orthopaedic Registrar at the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital, where he co-led a project with CSIRO and QUT to develop a deep-learning tool that predicted fracture complexity.

Today, his collaboration with Astra Health reflects his belief that technology must be woven into general practice to deliver lasting improvements.
