Fractional Chief Medical Officer - Tricorder Systems

About this role

FRACTIONAL CHIEF MEDICAL OFFICER — PROJECT TRICORDER We're looking for a clinician who has served as a military medic to be Tricorder's clinical lead and the medical name behind the product. You'll shape clinical workflows, protect patient safety, help to roadmap clinical device regulation, giving the product credibility with clinicians, defence customers and investors. ABOUT PROJECT TRICORDER - HTTPS://WWW.TRICORDER-SYSTEMS.COM/ Most healthcare technology assumes a hospital: reliable power, connectivity and a clinician at a desk.

But the moments that decide outcomes often happen elsewhere: at the point of injury, in transit, in remote and contested environments, and in the critical minutes before a patient reaches a ward. Tricorder is building deployable clinical infrastructure for that world. It's a rugged, self-contained hardware and software platform that lets clinical teams capture, monitor and act on patient data anywhere, even when the network or the grid can't be relied on.

It's a dual-use venture serving defence medical first and civilian pre-hospital and humanitarian care next. Tricorder is being built inside Founders Factory's venture studio, with dedicated pre-seed investment and a six-month build programme. The founder, a former British Army officer, is in place, the founding engineer is incoming, and a few more team hires are underway. What you'll do You'll be Tricorder's senior clinical voice: the person who makes sure what we build works for a medic at the point of injury and keeps patients safe.

- Shape clinical workflows: map how casualties are assessed, treated, handed over and evacuated, from the point of injury through to definitive care. Turn that into product requirements, and test prototypes against real resuscitation and trauma scenarios. - Protect patient safety: lead clinical risk management and act as (or help appoint) the Clinical Safety Officer under the NHS DCB0129 standard. Advise on the evidence needed for the medical device and regulatory pathway.

- Be the medical face of the product: put your clinical name to Tricorder. Represent it to defence medical services, NHS and ambulance trusts, humanitarian organisations and investors, and help the founder carry the clinical story in pitches and pilots. - Open doors: use your network across defence medicine, the NHS and humanitarian response to secure clinical pilots, user testing and early design partners. - Guide clinical evidence: help design pilots and early studies, and review clinical claims, protocols and terminology across the product and its AI features.
