Writings

What are you currently obsessed with?

Medicine is held back by time. The body operates on a clock, and in healthcare, every moment spent waiting means loss: loss of neurons in a stroke, viable tissue in a heart attack, and survival odds for a late-stage cancer patient.

Today, medicine doesn't move at the speed of biology-it moves at the speed of human systems. Drug discovery takes years. Diagnosis and treatment rely on clinician availability. Clinical trials stall due to bureaucratic inefficiencies. In a world where we can simulate molecules in seconds and analyze patient risk factors in real time, why should medicine still run on delays?

Right now, computation is the only force capable of collapsing time.

AI-driven drug discovery from leaders like DeepMind is already cutting development cycles from decades to years. Predictive diagnostics are flagging life-threatening conditions before symptoms even appear. It's steps forward like these that must break the constraints of regulatory inertia.

The greatest failure in medicine isn't a lack of innovation. It's the failure to deploy it fast enough. The equation of the future belongs to those who solve for time.
