Welcome to TECHY_SURGEON

I decode the tech—and the policy—that actually works for clinicians today: conversational AI, surgical innovation, and value-based playbooks. All served straight from the OR and my standing desk.

I’m Christian Péan, MD, MS

I’m an orthopedic trauma surgeon at Duke, policy faculty at the Margolis Institute, and venture-backed founder of RevelAi Health. Every week my clinical inbox, academic research meetings, and startup stand-ups collide on the same question:

“Cool tech — will it help patients today? Or just end up in a TED Talk?”

Rather than gate-keep the answers, I’m opening my notebook. Techy Surgeon is where I’ll test, break, rebuild, and share what really moves the needle for clinicians, transforms care to close outcome gaps, and actually helps the people we serve.
