The singularity cannot be scheduled: what medicine should do before the curve bends

Clinical workflow design

How AI fits into triage, documentation, routing, review, escalation, and other high-friction clinical workflows.

Governance, safety, and evaluation

Practical guidance on model validation, monitoring, human oversight, risk controls, and safer adoption of medical AI.

Imaging, diagnostics, and adoption

Commentary on medical imaging AI, diagnostic support, and the organizational conditions needed for successful health-system rollout.

Positioning

Credible commentary for a fast-moving field

The tone stays clear, restrained, and evidence-aware. Claims should be specific, useful, and grounded in how care is actually delivered.

The goal is to help readers understand what works, what fails, and what responsible healthcare AI adoption looks like in practice.
