Applied AI Consulting — PharmaTools.AI

AI Consulting

Responsible AI adoption for pharma & medtech

Advising teams on evidence-based AI adoption — from early experiments to scalable strategy. No hype. No unrealistic promises.

I'm the founder of PharmaTools.AI and creator of award-winning tools like MedCheckr and Patiently AI. My consultancy sits at the intersection of science communication, GenAI research, and regulatory design — helping teams turn curiosity into clarity.

With a background spanning medical writing, regulatory frameworks, and AI prototyping, I help teams make sense of the options and experiment in ways that feel manageable and meaningful. Whether you're just starting to explore GenAI or looking to refine how you use it, I offer honest input and practical ideas tailored to your context.
