Designed and built by a physician

AtomicMD did not come from a spec sheet. It came from a shift. Here is the story, and the person behind it.

The story

I am an emergency physician. I built the tool I wish I had during my shifts, for my colleagues.

Emergency, intensive care, family medicine. Almost ten years, many nights.

Shift after shift, the same observation: a large part of my time went to tasks that did not need a physician. Clicking, opening a document, waiting for the computer, waiting for the printer. The real clinical work, meanwhile, deserved full attention.

One night sums up the rest. A full department, four patients to document, and I spend long minutes on an AH-251 and a CNESST attestation while a stretcher waits for its reassessment. Nothing I was doing at that moment required ten years of training. The next day I asked myself why I was already dictating everything out loud in my head, and why nothing was listening.

In January 2026, I stopped full-time practice to devote myself to it. You do not dive into a problem like this between two shifts: it takes a clear mind and time. I learned, tested, built.

The goal is simple: give physicians back the time that paperwork takes, so it returns to the patient. Not to replace clinical judgment. To lighten it.

The emergency department first, because it is my ground. Then the clinic, inpatient care, family medicine.
