Andrew Napier
Masters Student in Clinical Informatics Management, admitted Summer 2025
BioAndrew Napier, MD, FAAEM, is a board-certified emergency physician, Army veteran, and founder of two clinical tech companies. He built and FDA-cleared a single-use video laryngoscope with on-blade lens clearing and leads development of real-time procedural guidance for intubation and bronchoscopy. He also co-founded an ambient documentation platform now producing hundreds of thousands of structured charts across 100+ care sites. His work focuses on clinician adoption, safety, and measurable impact at the bedside—pairing device design with on-device AI, rigorous validation, and clear change management.
At Stanford (MCiM), his interests include human-in-the-loop guidance for high-risk procedures, ambient clinical assistants that lower cognitive load, and pragmatic trials that track speed, accuracy, and downstream outcomes. Previously Vice Chair/Assistant Medical Director at a 70k-visit ED, he led sepsis, documentation, and operations projects; he holds issued and pending patents, published on lens-clearing laryngoscopy (AJEM), and has led cross-functional teams through FDA compliance and commercial launch. He served as a combat medic in Afghanistan and later as an EM physician at high-acuity trauma centers.
