Digital Health · Clinical AI · Health IT
I'm a board-certified emergency physician and clinical informaticist who has spent the last fifteen years building, scaling, and validating digital health products, from chronic condition management at Livongo to patient-facing clinical AI agents at Hippocratic AI. I advise companies, investors, and health systems on where clinical AI actually works, where it doesn't, and how to deploy it.
About
Evaluating a digital health product well requires three kinds of expertise: understanding whether it works clinically, whether it fits the realities of how care is delivered, and whether the economics behind it hold up. Most people in the industry know one or two of those dimensions well. The gaps between them are often where promising products fail, and where bad investments get made.
I've spent my career working across all three. I trained in emergency medicine at Emory and practiced for nearly a decade in busy academic and community emergency departments. I later completed formal training in biomedical informatics at Oregon Health & Science University and moved into health technology full time, first optimizing Epic and Cerner across multi-hospital systems, then leading clinical programs through the growth of Livongo and Teladoc, and later building AI-powered care navigation at Transcarent. Today, I serve as Associate Chief Medical Officer at Hippocratic AI, where I focus on the safety and validation of patient-facing autonomous AI agents.
That experience gives me a practical lens on digital health from multiple angles. I can assess whether a clinical claim will withstand scrutiny from a health system's medical staff; what a product will actually do to a clinician's workflow on a busy afternoon; and whether the people expected to use it realistically will. I can also evaluate the underlying economics: who writes the check, who captures the savings, and whether those are the same party.
That last question is particularly important. A product can work exactly as designed and still fail commercially because the organization paying for it isn't the one capturing most of the value. When incentives don't align, the business model fails, regardless of how compelling the clinical story may be.
I've also sat on both sides of the table: presenting to investors during a $700 million acquisition and evaluating vendors on behalf of the health systems purchasing their products.
I work through Anoop Sangha Consulting LLC, a single-member practice. I deliberately limit engagements so that each receives meaningful time, attention, and involvement.
Areas of Expertise
Most engagements cut across several. If you can describe the decision you're trying to make, I can tell you quickly whether I'm the right person for it, and if I'm not, I'll usually know who is.
Get in touchServices
Ongoing clinical counsel for product, commercial, and executive teams. Roadmap input, clinical validation of new features, positioning that survives scrutiny from a medical staff, and a standing line to a physician who understands your business model. Suited to companies without a full-time CMO, or with one who needs additional bandwidth.
For investors evaluating an asset or a category. Vendor landscape mapping, competitive intelligence, validation of clinical claims, assessment of business model and unit economics, and a clear read on which differentiators are real and which are marketing. Delivered as a written memo, a working session, or a series of calls.
Structured evaluation of patient-facing AI: call flow and conversation accuracy, escalation logic, retrieval fidelity, prompt and guardrail design, and the documentation regulators and enterprise buyers increasingly expect: intended use, known limitations, and monitoring. Includes design of clinical-in-the-loop SOPs and supervision workflows.
Conference panels and keynotes, board and limited-partner education sessions, internal workshops for teams building clinical products, and single hourly consultations for focused questions.
Engagement formats. Single hourly consultations, monthly advisory retainers, and defined project scopes. Most diligence work runs one to three weeks; retainers are typically three to twelve months. I'll tell you which one fits after a short conversation.
I do not provide clinical care, individual medical advice, or legal and regulatory opinions.
Who I Work With
“Will clinicians and enterprise buyers actually trust this?”
Seed through growth stage. I help teams pressure-test clinical logic before it ships, design the human oversight that makes autonomous care delivery defensible, translate product capability into language that lands with a CMO or a benefits consultant, and build the clinical evidence story that a sales cycle depends on.
“Is this business as good as the deck says?”
Funds building a thesis in digital health, or diligencing a specific asset. I map the vendor landscape, separate genuine clinical differentiation from repackaged workflow, explain how money actually moves between payers, providers, employers, and vendors, and give a candid view of what a management team does and does not understand about clinical delivery.
“Which of these tools is worth our time?”
AI and EHR strategy, vendor selection and evaluation, and clinical workflow design grounded in years of Epic and Cerner implementation work.
