Ahmed Z.
Clinical AI Consultant, Claude Hackathon Finalist, Medical Writer
I am Dr. Ahmed Zayed, an Egyptian physician, clinical AI specialist, medical writer, and digital health consultant with 12+ years of experience across clinical practice, patient education, medical research, and AI-assisted healthcare innovation. I was selected as a finalist in the Built with Claude Hackathon, where I developed Hathor, a clinical AI vaccination-card intelligence system that extracts immunization records from paper booklets, reconciles them across national vaccine schedules, and supports clinician-confirmed immunization summaries. Hathor is designed around a safety-first principle: AI extracts and reasons, but clinicians remain the final authority. I was also shortlisted for the Harvard Health Systems Innovation Lab Hackathon 2026 with SAFE-Triage, an AI-assisted emergency department triage system designed for Egyptian hospitals. SAFE-Triage combines multilingual clinical intake, deterministic triage rules, ESI/NEWS2 logic, audit logging, and human-in-the-loop confirmation to support safer triage decisions in resource-limited settings. My work sits at the intersection of medicine, artificial intelligence, health communication, and real-world clinical safety. I help healthcare startups, clinics, research teams, and content businesses build medically accurate, clinically useful, and patient-friendly solutions.
