Andrew Chu, MD
Assistant Professor of Emergency Medicine
Stanford University Department of Emergency Medicine
“There are so many things that get
me excited about innovations in our
field: large language models and their
potential to augment clinical decision-making
and support; new models of
healthcare delivery that can provide
acute care in the home (e.g., ED-in-
Home); portable, diagnostic tools that
can provide immediate, actionable
results at the point-of-care, instead of CT
scans and stress tests. It’s a great time to
be innovating in emergency medicine!
I’m most excited about working with
my colleagues to develop a curriculum
on innovation for our residents. We
are re-imagining how we train our
doctors to best prepare them for a
rapidly evolving healthcare landscape
characterized by unprecedented
technological disruption. We want to
teach our trainees problem-solving
methodologies that will empower them
to lead our field with creativity and
precision in this new digital frontier.”

“Extending emergency medicine
outside of the brick-and-mortar hospital,
to encompass telehealth and hospital
at home — I think there’s so much
opportunity here, especially with the
technology increasingly available
to increase the fidelity of interactive
experiences (eg. haptics or augmented
reality to improve physical exams),
which can be paired with associated
operations and policy changes needed to
operationalize these solutions.
Advanced diagnostics — There are a
host of companies working on noninvasive
diagnostic tools to better detect
intracranial hemorrhage, elevated
intracranial pressure, coronary artery
disease, and more, as well as tools to
monitor and identify decompensating
patients to help evaluate and disposition
patients faster and with fewer side
effects.”
Dan Imler, MD
Associate Professor of Emergency Medicine
Stanford University Department of Emergency Medicine
“’m most excited about the
engagement of emergency medicine
practitioners at the intersection
of technology, healthcare, and
entrepreneurship. I believe that EM
practitioners have a unique insight into
the healthcare system as a whole, which
is why EM physicians are so commonly
in positions of leadership within
organizations. We are currently seeing an inflection
point where EM-trained physicians
are no longer content simply putting
our heads down and moving patients
through the system. We are looking at
new innovative ways to provide care,
on a personal and system level. This
“innovation” of perspective within the
field is what I think can drive forward
a future we all will be proud of within
acute care and beyond.”
