The Doctor Who Left Medicine with Christian Chartier CEO & Co-Founder @ Compiled Health

A doctor sees a few tens of thousands of patients over an entire career. That number is the ceiling, and no amount of effort moves it. Christian Chartier did that math during residency and left clinical practice to build Compiled Health. The problem he's attacking: the standard of care lives in PDFs. Physicians are expected to recall thousands of rules from memory and apply them in a twelve minute visit. Compiled ingests those guidelines and turns them into machine readable decision trees, so the fact finding part of the visit gets structured and the remaining time goes back to actually counselling the patient. The architectural choice that makes it interesting: there is no AI in the room with the patient. The models do their work far upstream, reading guidelines and building the artifact. What the clinician uses at the point of care is deterministic. Same answer Monday, same answer Friday, same answer if you have to defend it two years later. We get into his path from starting med school at 19 to stepping away for math and computer science, selling image generation tools to plastic surgeons before AI was cool, why ignoring the advice to stay away from government paid off, and what happens to the role of the doctor when the tools start outpacing the license. Christian Chartier is co-founder of Compiled Health and pCare+. compiledhealth.com They're hiring on both the research and product sides. *Chapters* 0:00 Intro 0:20 What Compiled Health actually does 3:30 The game of 20 questions 4:55 Where the AI sits, and why it's never in the room 6:55 Med school at 19, then walking away to study math and CS 8:15 Selling image generation to plastic surgeons before AI was cool 8:50 The decision to leave medicine 9:50 Why a doctor's career has a hard ceiling 10:25 20,000 clinical recommendations in six months 11:35 Operating cross border: prevention in Canada and the US 14:45 "Don't bother selling to government" was bad advice 16:20 Why the chat tools aren't competitors 18:15 The Henry Ford framing 19:35 Does the role of the doctor change? 20:15 The license, the audit trail, and the fear of being left behind 23:10 The raise, and splitting pCare from Compiled 24:45 What "consider" and "offer" really mean in a guideline 25:40 Waitlists, insurer denials, and what comes next 28:40 What makes him optimistic 30:05 Where to find them
