Speaking

Talks that bring care back into the room.

Dr. Maheshwari speaks to health systems, conferences, and clinical teams on humanizing critical care, patient safety, and the thoughtful integration of AI at the bedside. Every talk is tailored to the audience — clinicians, executives, families, or all three at once.

Published on KevinMD: “Why end-of-life conversations can't wait for the ICU” — with a podcast episode forthcoming.

• 01

  Bringing Care Back to Medicine

  Keynote — health systems, conferences, grand rounds

  The signature talk. Seventy-one days on both sides of the ICU curtain — as the physician who understood every monitor and the daughter waiting for someone to explain it — and what that vantage point reveals about where medicine loses its humanity, and how to get it back.

• 02

  Have You Seen Your Mother's Chest X-Ray?

  Patient & family advocacy events, medical humanities programs

  From the forthcoming memoir: what families actually experience inside critical care, the questions they are afraid to ask, and the small acts of communication that change everything.

• 03

  AI at the Bedside: Technology That Returns Time to Care

  Digital health summits, health-tech leadership, CMIO/CNIO audiences

  A practicing ICU physician's framework for clinically credible AI — tools that dissolve silos, absorb documentation burden, and give clinicians back the one resource that matters: attention.

• 04

  The Family Is Not a Visitor: Humanizing Critical Care

  ICU teams, nursing leadership, patient safety programs

  Evidence and lived experience for family-centered ICU design — open visitation, structured communication, and the measurable safety gains that follow when families become part of the team.

• 05

  Patient Safety Is a Design Problem

  Quality & safety conferences, hospital leadership retreats

  Systems-level safety from a Lean Six Sigma-certified quality director: virtual ICU governance, process redesign, and why most safety failures are human-layer failures, not science failures.
