What this site is
Clinicians That Code tracks a specific wedge: clinically trained people who personally build and ship software; not clinicians that merely use AI tools, and not vendors selling to them. It is a verified directory of clinician-builders, plus an automated pulse on the ecosystem around them.
What you will find here
- The directory: verified clinician-builders, searchable by role, region and what they shipped.
- The Pulse: a running monitor of news relevant to clinical builders, refreshed automatically three times a week.
- The Handover: a weekly briefing on medicine, code and regulation.
- Guides, including the BAA fact table, what data you can get out of the EHR and Build safely.
- Essays and the Library, the monthly archive of everything the monitoring pipeline has surfaced.
How directory entries are verified
Every entry names a real clinician and a real, personally built artefact, and is checked before publication. Each person carries an evidence strength:
- Strong: the clinician and the artefact are confirmed from primary sources, such as the builder's own posts, repositories or press coverage of their work.
- Medium: the clinician and the artefact are consistent across multiple secondary sources, but a primary confirmation is still outstanding.
Only entries with strong or medium evidence are published; anything weaker stays out of the directory. The roster is hand-curated and verification-gated, not scraped.
How the Pulse and the Library find items
A digest pipeline sweeps Reddit, X, LinkedIn and the health-tech press three times a week (Monday, Wednesday and Friday) and feeds a knowledge store. From that store, the Pulse shows trending stories, events and tools; the Library keeps the same items month by month so nothing evaporates after the 28-day pulse window. Monitoring-pipeline summaries are labelled as such, and item dates are when the pipeline first saw a story, not its publication date.
Requesting a correction
Something wrong about you, your work or an item we surfaced? Email a correction and it will be fixed; a directory entry can also be unpublished on request. To suggest a clinician-builder who is missing, suggest an entry.
Not affiliated
Not to be confused with: Clinicians Who Code (Open Health Hub forum and unConference), Doctors That Code (technology studio), Doctors Who Code (learning platform), clinicians.dev (community and resource list). Clinicians That Code is the verified directory of individual clinician-builders and is not affiliated with any of them.
Who runs it
Bart Collet curates the site. Between 1995 and 2015 he built software for care organisations: an internal portal first, then care management, task management, scheduling and payroll, including JPLAN, a web-based planning tool for a 24/7 healthcare workforce, and Calblox, a cloud-based task-assignment platform. Every one of those tools was held to the same standard, which he called the 3am nurse test: if a tool could not be used by a nurse at three in the morning, short-staffed, mid-emergency, with no manual and no patience left, it was not finished.
The site is part of the Care & Code family: the community events for clinicians that build.
