Head of Engineering – Sully.AI

Sully.ai is on a mission to make “one human, one doctor” a reality by working toward the goal of creating an AI doctor to save more lives and solve the doctor shortage/availability in the world. Worldwide, people are grappling with a shortage of doctors, a challenge in every country on Earth. This issue significantly impacts overall human health. In the US, for example, there are 1.9 Physicians (Per every 1,000 people). Our mission is to make it a 1:1 ratio. We aim to be the organization that saves the most lives in human history by making high quality healthcare available to everyone, anywhere, anytime.

Goal 1: Healthcare is way behind; it still feels like it’s the 80s, and building a better infrastructure for doctors is an obvious first step. Using AI, 100% of doctors’ admin work can be automated.
Goal 2: Copilot for doctors. After we streamline the admin work and documentation for doctors, we focus on reducing the chances of misdiagnosis.
