How I work
Fractional clinical leadership,
sized to where you are.
Every engagement brings a clinician's judgment to a startup's pace. I usually suggest starting small. A focused look first, and we grow it if it's earning its keep. When the question is as much technical as clinical, I bring in Derrick Chu, an MD-PhD and Epic builder, for that half.
Start here
Clinical audit
Four weeks, fixed fee. I work through your product, workflow, or clinical logic and find the places where it assumes a clinician will behave in a way they won't, and where the safety story stops holding. It ends with a short prioritized memo and a working session with your team. Then we both decide whether there's more worth doing.
Ongoing
Embedded fractional role
A standing seat on your team. I join design reviews, argue about clinical decisions, and say so out loud when something isn't ready to ship. Some teams call this a fractional Chief Medical Officer, some a fractional medical director. What it means in practice is that somebody in your roadmap meetings has treated the patient your product is about to make a decision for.
For investors
Clinical diligence
A clinician's read on a company you're considering. Is the clinical premise sound, does the workflow survive contact with a real clinic, and what would a practicing doctor actually do with this once the demo is over?
What you can expect
- I keep practicing. Whatever I tell you about clinicians, I was one of them this week.
- I'm vendor-neutral and honest. You're paying for a straight clinical read, including the parts you may be hoping not to hear.
- I move at your pace. You'll get something short and specific that lands in a sprint, not a 40-page report.
- I say when I don't know. If the evidence is thin or the call is genuinely hard, I'll tell you that rather than fake certainty.
Not sure which one you need?
Most of this starts with a short call to figure that out together.
