24,000 doctors just got AI assistants. This changes everything.
Kaiser Permanente just pulled off something that seemed impossible two years ago.
They deployed Abridge’s AI documentation system across 40 hospitals and 600+ medical offices. Not a pilot. Not a test. Full production across their entire system.
This is healthcare’s iPhone moment. 📱
Think about what just happened here:
• 24,000 physicians now have AI capturing every patient conversation
• Real-time note generation in 14+ languages
• Support across 50+ specialties
• Seamless EHR integration
But here’s what really matters:
Physicians are getting back over an hour of their day. That’s an hour not spent on documentation. An hour returned to patient care. An hour reclaimed from burnout.
The implications are staggering.
When the largest integrated health system in America moves from testing to full deployment, it sends a clear message: AI in healthcare isn’t coming. It’s here.
Every other health system now faces a choice:
1. Deploy AI at scale and compete
2. Watch their best clinicians leave for systems that value their time
This isn’t about replacing doctors. It’s about giving them superpowers.
Imagine a world where:
• Doctors maintain eye contact during visits
• Medical errors from poor documentation plummet
• Physician burnout becomes manageable
• Patient satisfaction scores soar
We’re watching healthcare transform in real time.
The question isn’t whether your organization will adopt AI scribes.
The question is whether you’ll lead or follow.

CEO/Co-Founder @ Oatmeal Health | AI Lung Cancer Screening | Almost Became a Doctor | Engineer | Follow to Share What I’ve Learned Along the Way
I help patients get the care they need earlier, preventing late-stage cancer.
That’s been the throughline across three companies and almost 20 years in healthcare. At ReferralMD, we fixed broken referral networks so patients didn’t fall through the cracks. At Oatmeal Health, it’s lung cancer: building the diagnostic and screening infrastructure so the 85% of cases caught too late get caught early instead.
Today as CEO of Oatmeal Health, I lead a team embedding AI into radiology workflows to turn routine lung CT scans into reimbursable cancer risk assessments. We partner with FQHCs to reach underserved communities, and with health systems and payers to make early detection economically sustainable. Think HeartFlow or Cleerly, but for lungs.
Between companies, I advised at Techstars and Plug and Play, mentoring founders building in digital health. That experience shaped how I think about what separates companies that ship from companies that stall: distribution, reimbursement, and clinical trust, not just technology.
I’m a CancerX alumnus, a 3x healthcare founder, and someone who believes the biggest problems in cancer aren’t scientific. They’re operational.
We’re hiring mission-driven builders at Oatmeal Health. If you want to work on something that matters, reach out.
When I’m not working, I’m traveling, mentoring, and keeping up with one very energetic husky. 🐾
