The expensive gap
A product can be technically impressive and clinically unusable.
Product teams rarely need another polite opinion. They need someone who can identify what clinicians will resist, what buyers will question, and what must change before the next costly step.
Clinical edge cases
The demonstration works—but real patients, exceptions, and handoffs expose dangerous gaps.
Adoption resistance
The benefit is clear to the builder but not to the clinician asked to change established behavior.
The wrong proof
The pilot measures activity or novelty instead of the outcomes a buyer needs to defend the purchase.
The deliverable
Know what works, what could fail, and what to fix.
A Clinical Preflight review gives you a concise decision memo: what looks ready, what needs testing or changing, why it matters clinically, and what to do next. The memo is delivered within 72 hours of the review session.

Beyond a polished demo
Find the failure before your users do.
A strong risk model can still fail in a real care workflow. We examine the handoffs, missing information, and decisions around the model—not just its output.

Clinical diligence for investors
Find the clinical risks before you invest.
Clinical Preflight independently examines whether a product's claims, evidence, workflow, and adoption assumptions hold up in real care settings.
Request a diligence reviewClinical diligence only. Not financial, legal, regulatory, or cybersecurity advice.The process
A clear scope. A quick, useful answer.
Tell us what you need
Start with a short email or introductory conversation. A product idea, workflow challenge, or decision is enough. No polished deck required.
Agree on the review
We define the questions, materials, deliverable, fee, and timing together. Then we examine the workflow, exceptions, and assumptions that matter to your decision.
Get candid next steps
You receive clear findings and priorities. If an assumption does not hold up, we say so. Clinical Preflight decision memos arrive within 72 hours of the review session.

Why this perspective
A surgeon's clinical judgment with an engineer's approach.
Amir Nasir, MD is a board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon, former optical engineer, practice builder, and healthcare technology adviser. He has spent more than 15 years making consequential clinical and operational decisions where theory only matters if it works under real conditions.
Before medicine, he worked on optical engineering related to the correction of the Hubble Space Telescope. He later built and led a private surgical practice, evaluated EHRs and surgical technologies, and helped develop AI-enabled voice and workflow products.

Common questions
What to know before you start.
Is this only for surgical products?
No. We welcome inquiries across healthcare technology, medical devices, care delivery, and investment. Surgical practice is one source of experience, not a requirement for working together. We discuss the fit and any need for additional specialty expertise before agreeing to work.
Do we need to know exactly what service we want?
No. Bring the question or decision you are working through. The introductory conversation is free, and any paid engagement has an agreed scope and fee before it begins.
Is this formal clinical validation?
No. Clinical Preflight is an independent product, workflow, and adoption review. It does not replace regulatory studies, legal advice, a cybersecurity audit, or formal clinical validation.
Will you sign an NDA?
Yes. A reasonable mutual confidentiality agreement can be completed before proprietary materials are shared.
What materials should we provide?
Your current deck or demonstration, the intended user and workflow, known evidence, and the decision you are trying to make. Early products are welcome.
Can we send patient information?
No. Do not send protected health information or patient-identifiable data. Representative, synthetic, or appropriately de-identified examples are sufficient for an initial review.
Can an engagement continue after the review?
When the fit is right, targeted follow-on work or a limited advisory arrangement can be scoped after the initial decision.

What are you working on?
Tell us about your product, organization, or decision. If you are unsure where a clinical review would help, that is a good place to start.
