Clinical and Imaging AI expertise from leaders inside the systems you’re trying to break into.

Alpha AI Consulting helps AI companies speak hospital language – so your product makes sense to Physicians, staff, and C-suite decision makers.

We provide cohesive, cross-functional guidance that aligns your engineers, clinicians, and hospital executive leadership, keeping every stakeholder advancing toward the same objective.

Drawing on years of hospital leadership and hands-on implementation of AI systems, we help AI companies refine their user experience, streamline workflows, and close high-value enterprise contracts.

  • 17+ years in hospitals – from bedside experience in critical care and radiology to leadership roles over multiple departments and service lines.
  • Enterprise-level experience with AI implementation and clinical decision support.
  • Responsible for 100s of millions in annual service-line revenue and multi-million-dollar deals.
  • Award-winning quality initiatives in high-acuity and procedural environments.
  • Experience refining AI models and UI so Physicians, Technologists, and Nurses can actually use them – and tying those changes to measurable clinical and operational outcomes.
  • Deep help for non-US teams navigating U.S. hospitals, accreditation bodies (TJC and DNV), regulatory requirements, and decision paths.
  • Support building value stories and ROI cases that land in capital budgeting, value analysis, and finance committee reviews.
Typical clients: AI Startups, Imaging and Radiology AI Systems, Imaging OEMs, and non-U.S. companies wanting to sell to U.S.-based hospital systems.
What Alpha brings: clinical and imaging strategy, grounded in real hospital leadership, so your team can walk into conversations with Physicians, Nursing, and the C-suite with a story that lands, builds trust, proves clinical value, and clearly explains ROI.

We help your AI not just survive but thrive in the C-suite conference room pitch.

Nearly two decades in hospitals means I haven’t just read about how care is delivered — I’ve lived it from the bedside to operations. Over that time I’ve built real working relationships with Radiologists, ED Physicians, Surgeons, Hospital Executives, Nurse leaders, and the Technologists who keep imaging and procedural areas running.

Many of these people are still colleagues and collaborators today. They are at the peak of their careers, running high-stakes services and carrying real responsibility for safety, quality, and financial performance.

When you work with Alpha, you don’t just get my perspective — you get access to this network as a living test bench for your product. We use their feedback to stress-test your workflows, UI, and value story before you walk into a C-suite or capital committee.

The result is a tighter product and a sharper pitch: one that already accounts for the questions, objections, and politics your AI will face inside real hospital systems.
