Claire Hast — Co-Founder
I've seen what healthcare technology promises and what it actually delivers. They're rarely the same thing. The healthcare system was built on foundational design flaws: documentation for billing, not care. Workflows for throughput, not accuracy. Liability concentrated on the clinician, not the systems they're forced to use. AI didn't create these problems. It's compounding and accelerating them. I founded H3R.Tech to close the gap between what's being sold and what's being experienced. I evaluate healthcare AI through the lens of what actually happens. At the bedside, in the chart, and downstream. The question isn't whether the AI works. It's whether it deletes work from the system or just moves it around. I have no product to protect. No vendor ties. No employer to answer to. That independence is the point. It means the evaluation is honest, the questions are uncomfortable, and the analysis serves the people doing the work; not the people selling the tools. The fix starts with the foundation: question the requirements before automating them. Delete what shouldn't exist. Automate what's left. Then design oversight proportional to the risk. That's the order of operations. GNAA Chair of Surgery & Acute Care | Hippocratic AI | ANA Innovation Health systems evaluating AI. Clinicians navigating broken workflows.
