During his time at iSOFT, Chris served in several roles, including Head of Clinical R&D, Clinical Director (Chief Medical Officer) and finally Product Management Director, where he oversaw a portfolio of more than 30 products driving approximately $320M of total annual revenue. Leading a team of over 200 product managers, business analysts and designers, Chris was instrumental in establishing iSOFT as a major global vendor of healthcare systems.

After leaving iSOFT, Chris built a successful consulting practice focused on technology strategy, product management and major systems implementation. His clients included Lion Television Inc, the UK Department of Health, Silver Lake Partners and Skype.

His vision to add meaning to, and get knowledge from, unstructured clinical data provides the direction for Clinithink and its technology.

We believe that our vision to provide a solution that accurately structures clinical narrative in a manner that supports physician workflow, enhances processes and ultimately, improves patient care will not only give the industry an opportunity to adequately access the information they are generating but also make a positive impact on healthcare delivery as a whole.

Pete’s more than a decade of experience in healthcare IT has culminated in his profound understanding of strategies for successful Natural Language Processing (NLP) and the mapping of operational clinical narrative to structured ontologies, such as SNOMED CT. His discovery of a combination of NLP strategies with a particular implementation approach, and his optimization of this technology’s performance to support operational deployment for real-time use, is one of the field’s major achievements.

Pete is also a physician with 14 years of experience as a family doctor in the UK. In 1995, he left clinical practice to focus full-time on healthcare IT and worked on a number of significant projects for a diverse set of private and public sector clients. Among his many accomplishments, Pete is honored to have been appointed Visiting Scholar at the Stanford University Medical Informatics group.
