Benjamin Graef
@benjamingraef
I’m a Sleep Medicine specialist and AI research physician bridging sleep care with health language models.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m a board-certified Sleep Medicine Specialist and physician with deep clinical experience across sleep care, internal medicine training, and long-term practice leadership. I also built systems that improve care delivery, including protocols for sleep medicine, CPAP reeducation, and home sleep study/telemedicine workflows.
More recently, I’ve moved into AI health research as an “Artificial Intelligence Research Physician,” working on “Artificial Intelligence based Sleep, Endocrine, Primary and Consumer Health projects” for Fitbit/Google and creating “50 complex artificial patients” used in active Google research. I bring a clinician’s rigor and a builder’s mindset—translating large language model concepts into real-world sleep and fitness coaching work.
