CLINICAL AI ARCHITECT.
CLINICIAN · CLINICAL SAFETY OFFICER · CLINICAL AI ADVISOR.
I work at the intersection of clinical judgement, safety, and AI product thinking, bringing those threads together for teams designing and deploying clinical AI.
Clinical expertise, embedded in the build.
I take on consulting and fractional engagements with teams building clinical AI. I work alongside the engineers and product team while they build, not by reviewing a finished prototype. The work spans four areas that rarely sit in one role.
Building clinical AI tools and workflows
Designing the clinical logic an AI runs: conversational workflows, decision points, escalation rules, variable capture, and evaluation criteria. Worked through against how the system behaves, not just written down.
Clinical safety
Clinical Safety Officer work under DCB0129 and DCB0160. Hazard identification, controls, evidence, and residual risk. Safety designed into the system from the start, not bolted on before go-live.
Clinical product thinking
Translating clinical need into something a team can build, and judging when a feature is safe enough to ship. Keeping up in a field where models, regulation, and use cases all move every quarter.
Validation and evaluation
Structured ways to test whether a clinical AI system does what it should and fails safely when it does not. Evaluation criteria, audit methodology, and the documentation that stands up to scrutiny.
Safe clinical AI needs a clinician close to the build.
Most healthcare AI has been co-pilot: a clinician stays in the loop and catches the mistakes. What is emerging now talks to patients directly, where there is no clinician downstream to correct it. That changes the safety question from a review at the end to a design problem from the start.
Doing that well needs someone who can hold a clinician's sense of what could go wrong with a patient and an understanding of how the system is actually built, at the same time. That is the work I do.
