President, MedExpert International, Inc.
Executive Director of Knowledge Engineering and Health Policy
Success as a medical researcher, columnist, and healthcare company business leader have led to Mary Hiller's recognition as a world expert and visionary in the healthcare industry.
Following a career as an internationally ranked gymnast, Hiller conducted leukemia research at Stanford University Medical Center for four years in the mid-1970s. In 1979, she founded Byron-Hamilton Medical Reports, which analyzed medical information for medical professionals and the healthcare industry until the company merged into a large managed care organization in 1993.
Hiller began her enormously successful tenure as author of the world's largest syndicated medical column in 1990. New York's United Media distributed the column for 10 years, during which Hiller reached a weekly readership of 35 million households.
In 1996, the international organization governing amateur sports recognized her stature as a world expert by choosing Mary Hiller to represent the United States as part of a seven-nation FINA Medical Task Force on performance-enhancing drugs in international competition. Over the next 3 years, the Task Force developed a testing, detection, research, sanctioning, and education system. Hiller's work led to an international drug trafficking reporting program for 156 nations and a worldwide computerized data registry system to track athletes' drug tests and provide a mechanism to analyze longitudinal drug testing results. Hiller also cooperated with the Office of the Holy See at the Vatican City State to establish performance-enhancing drug abuse as a human rights issue affecting the world's youth.
From 1993 to 1997, Hiller managed a research project tracking more than 200,000 individuals through the course of a medical episode. This study laid the groundwork for Hiller to assemble teams of researchers who established expert-system rules (a discipline of artificial intelligence) to facilitate timely and reliable responses to the questions posed by medical consumers. In 2000, Mary Hiller built upon this work to found MedExpert International, the leading world source of current, unbiased, and accurate medical information. Hiller continues to serve as MedExpert's President today.
Mary Hiller holds a BS degree in biology and chemistry from the University of Santa Clara in California. She and her husband Jeff live with their four daughters in the San Francisco Bay Area.
