About

Dr. Ahmed Zayed, MD

Dr. Ahmed Zayed is a general practitioner with 12+ years of clinical experience, building clinical AI tools (SAFE-Triage, Hathor) and publishing physician-led AI-in-healthcare coverage in English and Arabic.

Physician

12+ years of practicing medicine; the editorial bar that shapes ZayedMD comes from clinical reading — primary sources first, evidence over hype, and a refusal to soften medical claims for marketing reasons.

Medical writer and researcher

Years of clinical writing established the citation discipline that ZayedMD uses today. Every article is physician-reviewed; every reference resolves.

Clinical AI builder

SAFE-Triage and Hathor are real, shippable projects — not slideware. They give ZayedMD’s coverage of clinical AI a first-hand view of the problems and trade-offs that operators actually face.

Healthcare AI publication founder

ZayedMD is the platform: a KevinMD-style authority surface specialised in AI in healthcare, with Arabic AI healthcare as a first-class section, an ebook funnel, a newsletter, and a planned monetisation path.
