Spiegel, Brennan: - Brennan Spiegel, M.D., is a physician, professor, and storyteller whose work lives at the intersection of science, technology, and what it means to be human. He directs Health Services Research at Cedars-Sinai, where he holds the George and Dorothy Gourrich Chair in Digital Health Ethics. Dr. Spiegel's research explores how emotion, physical experience, and the mind-body connection shape health--and how innovations like virtual reality and AI can support healing. He can often be found balancing his life (and himself) on a wobble board in his office while wearing a weighted vest. He lives in Los Angeles.
