What the ORBITA Trial Did to Cardiology
We've been stenting stable patients for decades. Then a placebo proved us wrong. The field has never fully recovered.
Medicine & Tech
A Stanford-trained physician building the future of clinical AI from Dubai. I believe the best technology in healthcare is the kind that disappears, leaving only better decisions, better care, and more time for what matters most: the patient in front of you.
My path was never a straight line. I studied biomedical engineering at Duke, earned my MD at Stanford, and spent three years in internal medicine at UCSF, where I discovered that the hardest problems in healthcare weren't clinical. They were structural.
I moved to Dubai in 2022 to lead health technology innovation at the Dubai Future Foundation, running an AI diabetic retinopathy screening pilot across five clinics and working with regulators on telemedicine policy. Today, as Chief Medical Officer at Plato Tech, I work at the frontier of clinical AI, building tools that respect how physicians actually think, not how engineers imagine they do.
I write about the science that changes practice. The kind of evidence that makes a clinician pause and rethink what they thought they knew.
We've been stenting stable patients for decades. Then a placebo proved us wrong. The field has never fully recovered.
I speak at clinical conferences, healthtech summits, and regulatory forums across the GCC and internationally. My talks draw on real clinical practice, peer-reviewed evidence, and the messy reality of deploying AI in healthcare settings where lives depend on getting it right.
I'm also open to clinical AI partnerships, advisory roles for healthtech startups, and mentoring physicians and engineers building at the intersection of medicine and technology, particularly those working in the MENA region.
