Clinicians That Code
The directory of clinicians who build software
Doctors, nurses, pharmacists and other clinically trained people who do not just use software — they ship it. Every entry is verified: a real clinician, a real, personally built artefact.
Curated from a continuously running monitoring pipeline across Reddit, X, LinkedIn and the health-tech press. Updated three times a week, automatically.
Directory
26 verified clinician-builders. Evidence tags reflect how thoroughly the shipped work could be independently confirmed.

About
Clinicians That Code tracks a specific wedge: clinically trained people who personally build and ship software — not clinicians who merely use AI tools, and not vendors selling to them. If a doctor vibe-codes a dosing calculator on a night shift, we want it on the map.
The directory is hand-curated and verification-gated; the pulse is fed by an automated monitoring pipeline that sweeps Reddit, X, LinkedIn and the health-tech press three times a week.
Curated by Bart Collet. Part of the Care & Code family — the community event for clinicians who build, in Antwerp on 3 October 2026.
