Mark A. Milton, MD

Twenty years in the EP lab. Now building the software it actually needs.

Physician-built tools for electrophysiology workflows — written by someone who still scrubs in.

Work

Live tools, built from the clinic outward

Everything below runs today at milton-ep.com, and each one started as a workflow problem I got tired of waiting for someone else to fix.

In the workshop

  • AI Technology ScoutLocal tool · not public

    An agent that watches GitHub releases and Hugging Face trending models, scores each development for general importance and for relevance to my own projects, separates fact from interpretation, and cites primary sources. Built to keep up with the tooling behind the tools above without reading the whole firehose.

Approach

The AI part was the easy part

The hard part has been encoding what I already know: the NCCI edits, which payer wants which criterion in which order, and the gap between clinically obvious and actually billable. That knowledge isn't in a training dataset — it's in the heads of the people doing the work, and most of us can't write code.

I'm increasingly convinced the constraint in clinical AI isn't model capability. It's that the people who understand the workflows and the people who can build aren't usually the same person. I'm working on being both.

Still in the lab — this isn't a career change. It's what deep EP experience looks like when it's pointed at product development, clinical AI validation, and physician-facing technology.
