About Matthew Bloom

I am an academic acute care and trauma surgeon working at the intersection of operative decision making, clinical informatics, and applied artificial intelligence. My clinical practice spans emergency general surgery, trauma, and critical care, environments in which judgment under time pressure and incomplete information is routine.My work focuses on how intelligent systems can support surgeon perception and interpretation during live procedures without displacing accountability. This includes AI-assisted intraoperative imaging, structured interpretation of dynamic fluoroscopic data, and workflow-aware system design for safety-critical settings.I am board certified in General Surgery, Surgical Critical Care, and Clinical Informatics, with formal training in electrical engineering. That background informs a pragmatic approach to collaboration with engineering and industry teams, emphasizing validation, integration into real operative workflows, and attention to failure modes.At Cedars-Sinai, I perform advanced laparoscopic and robotic procedures and lead work in AI-enabled intraoperative imaging. I focus on work where clinical rigor, workflow realism, and real-world performance matter.
