Written from inside the system.
I'm Christian Péan — orthopedic trauma surgeon, CEO and co-founder of RevelAi Health, and faculty at Duke's School of Medicine and the Margolis Institute for Health Policy. Techy Surgeon is my working notebook: what I'm learning at the bedside, in the boardroom, and inside the payment models, written so you can use it.
The mission is simple. Clinicians are drowning in work that machines can now do, while the payment system that shapes their week is being rewritten faster than anyone can read it. This publication attacks both: practical AI workflows that give clinicians their time back, and policy intelligence that tells the people running healthcare what a rule means before their consultants do.
Everything taught here runs my actual week. The practice, the company, and this publication run on the same stack you're learning — that's the credibility test every piece has to pass.

Practicing surgeon
Orthopedic trauma at Duke. The workflows are tested on real call weeks, real op notes, and a real inbox — not a demo account.
Founder & operator
CEO of RevelAi Health, building AI care coordination for musculoskeletal medicine. The build lessons come from shipping, not speculating.
Duke & Margolis faculty
Health policy from inside the institutions writing about it — which is why the model decodes land within days, not quarters.
