Fractional CTO for population health and clinical trials.

Senior data and AI judgment for population health platforms, clinical trials technology, and real-world evidence programs — without the cost or commitment of a full-time hire. Workshops, advisory retainers, and embedded engagements with deep domain expertise in trial data systems, RWE infrastructure, and value-based care analytics.

Who I help

From Providers to suppliers.

Accelerating data, systems and AI decisions using tech savvy senior insights.

Population health & clinical trials technology

  • Population health platforms scaling analytics, risk stratification, and value-based care reporting
  • Clinical trials technology companies building EDC, CTMS, ePRO, or patient recruitment platforms
  • Real-world evidence platforms integrating claims, EHR, and registry data for observational studies

Research institutions & health systems

  • Academic medical centers modernizing clinical trial data infrastructure and site technology
  • Multi-site research networks building RWE capabilities and observational study platforms
  • Health system leaders launching population health programs or pursuing value-based care models
What I deliver

Four ways to engage.

Each with a named outcome and a fixed price. Easy to start, easy to scope, easy to finish.

AI Readiness Sprint

5 days

Roadmap for AI/ML in population health analytics, RWE pipelines, or clinical trial optimization with a 90-day plan, vendor shortlist, and risk register.

Data Architecture Audit

5 days

Assessment of clinical trial data systems (EDC/CTMS), RWE databases, or population health infrastructure with prioritized remediations and target architecture.

Advisory Retainer

monthly

Async + bi-weekly senior judgment for clinical trials technology decisions, RWE vendor selection, population health platform architecture, and board prep. 6-month minimum.

Embedded Engagement

1–3 days/week

Fractional CTO owning clinical trial data modernization, population health platform builds, or RWE pipeline delivery. Named accountability for 3–5 outcomes. 3–6 months.

Why me

Depth where it matters.

A specialist's edge in data and AI for regulated health environments — without the price tag of a fractional generalist.

Population health & clinical trials specialist

Deep expertise in clinical trial data standards (CDISC, CDASH, OMOP, FHIR, QHIN), RWE databases (claims, registries, EHR), and population health analytics for value-based care. Fluent in EDC/CTMS, observational study design, and HIPAA/IRB compliance.

Translator

I move between clinical investigators, data scientists, and engineering teams in the same conversation. Decisions get made faster when the room actually understands each other.

Senior partner energy

Plain-English answers, fast defensible decisions, and a written record of why. Not a contractor handing back code — a partner who owns the outcome with you.

Get in touch

Let's talk.

A 30-minute discovery call is structured around five questions: business context, current tech, the decision driving the call, success criteria, and decision timing. No pitch. If it's not the right engagement, I'll say so and offer a referral.

Or drop your email and I'll add you to the channelmatter occasional newsletter — short notes on data and AI in health and research.
