Jean-Christophe Bélisle-Pipon

Jean-Christophe Bélisle-Pipon is an assistant professor in health ethics at Simon Fraser University’s Faculty of Health Sciences. His research addresses the ethical and societal impacts of emerging technologies, particularly medical AI, data governance, and vocal biomarkers. Dr. Bélisle-Pipon develops practical frameworks that embed ethical oversight directly into the innovation

lifecycle. His work aims to shift the practice of ethics from a reactive, compliance-focused hurdle to a proactive, integrated part of designing and implementing responsible health technology. He champions this embedded approach as a form of "productive friction," a necessary force to ensure deliberation and guide innovation toward more responsible outcomes.
