Clinpax is an AI operating system built for clinicians, designed to ease documentation and cognitive load, surface relevant evidence at the point of care, and support faster, more confident clinical decisions.
From day one, that mission has been shaped directly by practicing clinicians. Our global Advisory Board of physicians and specialists has provided continuous clinical steer, testing every workflow, prompt, and interaction against the realities of real medicine, where time is limited, stakes are high, and context never stops changing. Today, we're introducing our advisory board of clinicians who have made that possible.
Why Clinician Input Has Been Non-Negotiable
Healthcare is not a static environment. It's shaped by time pressure, incomplete information, multi-morbidity, and human judgment under uncertainty, constraints that rarely show up in datasets or design documents.
Many healthcare technologies fail not because they're poorly engineered, but because they're tested too late or too narrowly against that reality. Clinpax has avoided that gap by building clinical input into the product from the start, creating a direct line between clinicians working in real care environments and the teams building the system, so that decisions are grounded in lived experience rather than assumption.
Our Advisory Board
Our Advisory Board brings together clinicians and innovators across primary care, emergency medicine, radiology, healthcare systems, and research-driven technology leadership, spanning Australia, Canada, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia. What unites them isn't just expertise, but a shared, deep understanding of how medicine actually operates under pressure.
Dr. David Rafla
FRACGP, ACEM | General Practitioner — Victoria, Australia
Dr. Rafla is a dual-trained clinician with over a decade of frontline experience across general practice and emergency medicine. A Fellow of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners and a diploma holder in emergency medicine from the Australasian College for Emergency Medicine, he practices at Sunrise Family Medical Centre in Werribee and Glenroy Medical Center in Victoria, managing acute presentations alongside long-term chronic disease care, including cardiovascular and metabolic conditions, diabetes, obesity, and chronic kidney disease.
Dr. Rafla has helped Clinpax understand how clinical AI must perform in high-volume, continuity-based settings, where clinicians balance speed, accuracy, and patient trust simultaneously.
Dr. Muhammad Saad Sultan
MD, CCFP, CCFP(EM) | Family & Emergency Medicine Physician — British Columbia, Canada
Dr. Sultan is a Canadian-trained physician with dual certification in family medicine and emergency medicine. He practices within the Vancouver Coastal Health network and has experience across multiple hospital systems in Ontario, giving him a systems-level understanding of patient care across the full clinical spectrum. Fluent in English, Hindi, and Urdu, he also brings insight into multilingual, culturally diverse patient populations.
Dr. Sultan has helped shape how Clinpax thinks about large-scale healthcare system adoption and the operational realities of deploying AI tools across publicly funded, multi-site environments.
Prof. Dr. Aamir Farooq
PhD (Stanford University) | Professor, KAUST | Innovation & Entrepreneurship Leader — Saudi Arabia / USA
Dr. Farooq is a Professor at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), leading research in chemical kinetics and laser sensor systems at the Clean Combustion Research Center. He previously chaired KAUST's Mechanical Engineering Program and founded the university's Technology Innovation and Entrepreneurship (TIE) Program. With over 250 peer-reviewed publications, his work spans scientific discovery, technology transfer, and innovation ecosystem development.
While not a clinician, Dr. Farooq has brought a critical systems-level and scaling perspective to Clinpax, helping bridge research, productization, and real-world deployment across emerging markets.
Dr. Ali Zafar Sheikh
MBBS, FCPS (Diagnostic Radiology) | Consultant Radiologist — Pakistan
Dr. Sheikh is a Consultant Radiologist with advanced fellowship training in body imaging and PET-CT, alongside formal qualifications in healthcare ethics, digital health, and medical education. His work sits at the intersection of diagnostic interpretation, clinical governance, and the growing role of AI in imaging workflows.
Dr. Sheikh has guided how Clinpax approaches interpretability, error tolerance, and clinician trust in diagnostic settings, helping ensure AI outputs remain clinically meaningful and ethically sound.
Built With Medicine, Not Around It
The clinicians above reflect a belief that has guided Clinpax from the start: the most effective clinical AI isn't built in isolation from medicine — it's built through continuous engagement with the people who practice it.
Does this help a clinician make a better decision in the moment it matters? That's the standard Clinpax has been building toward, together with this Advisory Board, from day one.
