Episodes

Dr. Alexis Bromley discusses INDZ, her innovative single-use device that combines incision, drainage, and aspiration into one streamlined procedure. Inspired by both treating patients and undergoing the procedure herself while pregnant, Bromley developed the device to reduce pain, shorten procedure time, and improve the experience for patients and clinicians. https://www.acep.org/sa https://www.acep.org/sa/experience/ai-tech/pitcher-competition---innovator-meetup https://bromleybiomed.org/

Dr. Kevin Spencer shares the story behind Ring Rescue, an innovation designed to safely remove stuck rings from swollen fingers. Developed as an alternative to improvised tools often used in emergency departments, the system can remove rings made from a variety of materials while improving patient satisfaction, clinical outcomes, and efficiency. https://www.acep.org/sa https://www.acep.org/sa/experience/ai-tech/pitcher-competition---innovator-meetup https://www.ringrescue.com/

Dr. Liz Clayborne introduces NasaClip, her modern solution for managing nosebleeds more quickly and effectively. Inspired by the traditional tongue-depressor technique, the device can be applied early in care to improve emergency department throughput and may eventually serve as a platform for delivering medications and vaccines. https://www.acep.org/sa https://www.acep.org/sa/experience/ai-tech/pitcher-competition---innovator-meetup https://www.nasaclip.com/ https://www.acep.org/acep26/claybor...

Dr. Tehreem Rehman discusses CarePathIQ, an AI-powered platform that helps clinicians search, evaluate, and apply evidence to develop care pathways tailored to their practice setting. Frustrated by inconsistent care processes, Rehman created the tool to reduce variation, streamline decision-making, and give physicians more time for patient care. https://www.acep.org/sa https://www.acep.org/sa/experience/ai-tech/pitcher-competition---innovator-meetup https://carepathiq.org/

Dr. David Crabb shares the story behind ROVI, an autonomous mobile robot designed to transport stretchers, beds, and equipment throughout hospitals. From garage-built prototypes to real-world testing, Crabb explains how the innovation could reduce physical strain on healthcare workers and improve operational efficiency. https://www.acep.org/sa https://www.acep.org/sa/experience/ai-tech/pitcher-competition---innovator-meetup https://www.gorovex.com/

Dr. Kathy Chae introduces CyrenCare, a multilingual platform that collects patient symptom information before a clinical encounter and integrates it into the electronic medical record. Designed to reduce repetitive questioning and improve workflow, the innovation helps clinicians focus on care while enhancing the patient experience. https://www.acep.org/sa https://www.acep.org/sa/experience/ai-tech/pitcher-competition---innovator-meetup https://www.cyrencare.com/

Dr. William Dixon discusses Capacity Health, a platform that uses patient data, monitoring information, laboratory results, and predictive models to improve emergency department capacity. By anticipating care needs and coordinating tasks across the hospital, the innovation aims to reduce bottlenecks, improve patient flow, and support better emergency care delivery. https://www.acep.org/sa https://www.acep.org/sa/experience/ai-tech/pitcher-competition---innovator-meetup https://capacityhealth.co...

Dr. Graham Walker and Dr. Joe Habboushe share the story behind MDCalc, a widely used clinical decision-support platform that transforms medical evidence into interactive bedside tools. Originally created to solve a problem they faced as residents, the innovation now helps millions of clinicians worldwide apply evidence-based medicine more efficiently and confidently. https://www.acep.org/sa https://www.acep.org/sa/experience/ai-tech/pitcher-competition---innovator-meetup https://www.mdcalc.com/

Dr. David Gordon introduces the Dove device, a wearable technology designed to detect life-threatening opioid overdoses and alert bystanders or emergency responders. Built to operate independently of cell phones, the device uses physiologic monitoring and onboard algorithms to expand access to lifesaving intervention for people at risk of overdose. https://www.acep.org/sa https://www.acep.org/sa/experience/ai-tech/pitcher-competition---innovator-meetup https://www.altru-med.com/ https://www.emr...
