Here with Dr. Carl Rhodes, who's a clinician scientist at a bridge. I am an emergency medicine doctor, so I still work ER shifts to this day. In fact, I have an ER shift tomorrow morning. Oh my goodness, so anyone who's a big fan of the pit, emergency medicine doctor, we have one right here with us. It's kind of a hybrid, um, like engineering role, and I still get to use my clinical brain, so we're there to support the engineers, kind of help guide product direction, answer questions about physician workflows, and ultimately also responsible for the clinical quality of everything that happens. What is an aspect of your day-to-day as a doctor that you wish folks in tech better understand? Great question. The amount of time pressure that we face, especially in the emergency department, but clinicians everywhere, and then sort of the amount of like repeated, momentary, high-stressed situations that we're supposed to. We have a lot of talented, passionate builders here at this hackathon. What is the problem space or idea that you hope folks can explore? I would love selfishly for somebody to build an orchestration agent for my own brain that helps me direct my attention on a shift. I think that would be amazing.
