Diego Pinheiro Sérgio
@diegopinheirosergio
Licensed physician applying AI to improve clinical protocols and healthcare efficiency.
What I'm looking for
I’m a licensed physician with a hybrid background in clinical practice and biomedical informatics, and I use AI and data analytics to make care safer and more efficient. Trained in Medicine and Biomedical Informatics, I’m currently advancing my AI and Data Science expertise through a post-graduation focused on health applications.
My clinical track record spans emergency and inpatient settings, with extensive experience managing high patient volumes and coordinating complex cases. I lead multidisciplinary decisions in high-pressure environments and use structured care coordination (including bed turnover and discharge/transfer management via the CROSS platform) to improve operational flow.
I also bring health-innovation leadership: I’ve worked on protocol optimization and scalability efforts within the Brazilian Public Health System (SUS), and I’m building technology solutions as Founder & CEO of DPS Health Tech. Alongside this, I maintain a private telemedicine practice and focus on General Practice, Family Health, and Endocannabinoid Medicine.
I’m especially effective at translating between clinical needs and engineering requirements—turning complex medical workflows into clear technical product and system requirements. I apply AI for diagnostic algorithms, precision medicine, and health crisis management, and I’m comfortable leading governance and ethics for AI and telemedicine, including data security aligned with CFM guidance.
