Alejandro R. Jadad Bechara (Alex Jadad; born August 9, 1963) is a Canadian-Colombian physician whose work focuses on improving health for all, and transforming healthcare, through creative human-machine collaboration powered by scientific evidence and collaboration across traditional boundaries.[1][2] He is also known as the researcher responsible for the development of the Jadad Scale, the first validated tool to assess the methodological quality of clinical trials. He also co-created the methodology behind 'Computational Management', a systematic approach to facilitate task automation for the integration of artificial intelligence into existing workflows.[3]
