I make complex systems easier for people to understand, use and improve.

Healthcare, research, systems thinking and AI that people can check.

Patients, clinicians, science, evidence, regulation, process, data, AI and product tangled together.PatientClinicianScienceEvidenceRegulationProcessDataAIProduct

Selected work

Absorption is impaired in the presence of food and concomitant medications; administration should follow an overnight fast. Patients should remain upright for a minimum of 30 minutes post-dose to optimise bioavailability.

01 — Health literacy

From expert information to patient action

Correct is not the same as usable. A medicine leaflet, taken apart and rebuilt so patients can act on it.

AI finding

Several participants found the dosing section hard to locate. 3 sources

✓Checked by a person before use

02 — AI product

Designing AI around evidence, not magic

An AI research tool where no finding reaches a report unless it links to what a patient actually said, and a person has checked it.

Fix the system, not the symptom

Approvals kept stalling. It looked like a people problem. It was really a problem with the order of the steps.

How I work

Hover a step.

Who is involved, what they need, and what the system takes for granted.Watch what people do, not just what they say.Turn the mess into a clear map: steps, rules, evidence, gaps.Make the smallest version that tests the idea.With real people, against a pass mark agreed before we start.Fix the cause, not just the symptom.

Interesting problem?

I'd like to hear about it.
