Andres Garcia is co-founder and CTO of Florence Healthcare, the Atlanta-based company building technology that makes clinical trials faster and easier for research sites, sponsors, and CROs. In recent years his focus has moved to innovation, leading Florence's work to bring AI into clinical research operations. He champions a human-centered approach: AI that takes routine burden off coordinators, monitors, and research teams so they can spend their time on judgment, collaboration, and patient care, rather than AI that replaces the people doing the work.
