Technology Layer
The transition from pure clinical research to applied technology was deliberate — designed to bridge the gap between clinical expertise and engineering capability.
Education
- Georgia Institute of Technology — MSCS in machine learning
- Indiana University Kelley School of Business — MBA, Lean Six Sigma Green Belt
- Executive education — Cornell, Wharton, MIT (AI systems, platform strategy, medical device development)
Products — Clinical Decision Support
- SENTINEL — AI-augmented endpoint adjudication for clinical trials
- Clinical calculators — four free, guideline-aligned decision-support tools for practicing physicians: 2026 ACC/AHA Dyslipidemia, 2025 AHA/ACC Hypertension, 2022 AHA/ACC/HFSA Heart Failure, and 2023 ACC/AHA/ACCP/HRS Atrial Fibrillation — with AI-powered clinical note extraction, EHR note generation, and guideline-directed literature search
Products — Research Tools
- ARBITER — AI Pre-Submission Reviewer — physician-scientist calibrated pre-submission review that identifies methodological weaknesses, statistical gaps, and presentation issues before journal submission
- CANVAS — AI Scientific Illustration Generator — publication-quality graphical abstracts, mechanism diagrams, study flows, and results summaries from manuscript text
- CADENCE — AI Research Audiobook Generator — transform research papers and clinical guidelines into personalized audiobooks for learning during rounds, commute, or exercise
Products — Quality Assurance
- VIGIL — Clinical AI Audit — automated quality assurance the only purpose-built audit system for healthcare AI conversations and clinical documentation. Detects hallucinations, prompt injection, fabricated authorities, scope violations, and dozens of additional clinically specific flag types using multi-model consensus with independent cross-validation. HIPAA-compliant with zero data retention
Vision
Clinical expertise is the scarcest input in health technology — and the most under-leveraged.
- The gap — most AI tools are built by engineers who consult clinicians, not clinicians who master engineering. Meanwhile, evidence-based guidelines take years to reach the patients who need them
- The mission — build physician-led technology that accelerates scientific discovery and closes the gap between published evidence and bedside care
- The standard — interpretable outputs, clinically meaningful endpoints, honest uncertainty — safe, effective, and timely
