Healthcare tools built by the people who use them.
AI-native tools for healthcare operations and clinical workflows, co-developed with clinicians at the bedside. For leaders who want efficiency they can feel on the floor.
About
Clinicians who build, for healthcare teams whose workflow is costing them time.
We build AI-native tools for healthcare operations and clinical workflows, advise health systems on workflow and AI, and partner on applied research, all from Colorado.
HealthTok was founded by Christopher Whelchel, a clinician with twenty-five years across practice, operations, education, and research on provider efficiency. He leads teams that build workflow solutions connecting technology to practice.

- Bridget Metzger, BSNWorkflow Design
Every product is co-developed with a working clinician, then reviewed by healthcare leaders, respiratory care practitioners, nurses, and pharmacists before it reaches your team.
Products: AI-native healthcare tools
Current builds: two tools, each built for one specific job, and each designed to remove a point of friction from clinical work.
Aviselle
Nearing launch · iOS & AndroidStreamlines clinical workflow, cuts equipment downtime, and gives repair teams reports they can act on immediately.
- Conversational intake that asks the right follow-up questions when a clinician’s report is vague, and prioritizes what it collects.
- Barcode scanning to identify the equipment.
- Automatic routing to every recipient a local administrator has set up.
SimChrona
Nearing production · iOS & AndroidNurse-developed timing for code simulations, built for continuous improvement.
- Times code simulations precisely, so teams can see exactly where seconds are gained or lost.
- AI compares the timeline and interventions against American Heart Association algorithms.
- Instant AI summaries and feedback after every simulation.
- Multiple recorders in one session, timing interventions and personnel together in real time.
Advisory & research
Not every problem needs a new app. Sometimes it needs a careful look at how the work is done, and a plain answer on what AI will and will not fix.
Help deciding where AI fits your workflow
We look at how work actually moves through a unit, find where the time goes, and tell you where a workflow change or AI would help, and where it wouldn’t. Our reviews are done by a multidisciplinary team with decades of combined clinical experience.
- A workflow and efficiency assessment on real units, with a written summary your team can act on.
- Help choosing which AI use cases are worth pursuing, and which aren’t.
- Guidance for leaders and teams putting new workflows and technology into daily practice.
Research partnerships
We partner with health systems and academic teams on applied research: provider efficiency, AI in clinical workflow, and pilots designed to show whether a change worked.
- Study design and measurement for workflow and efficiency pilots.
- Co-authored evaluations of AI-native tools in clinical settings.
- Collaboration on grant applications and grant-funded pilots.
Free
One workflow problem, talked through. You leave with a next step.
The workflow, mapped
We follow the work to where the time goes and find what would actually help: a tool, a change, or nothing at all.
One unit, real users
A short window, honest measurement, and the freedom to stop.
Scaled, with support
What the pilot taught us, rolled out, with someone still answering the phone.

Speaking
Christopher Whelchel, HealthTok’s founder, speaks to healthcare leaders about connecting technology to practice: what AI is changing in operations and clinical efficiency, and how to lead teams through it. He brings twenty-five years across clinical practice, operations, education, and research.
Where healthcare AI has been, and where it is headed
How healthcare AI got here, where it is going, and what is changing in operations and daily practice.
AI and the efficiency question
What AI actually improves in clinical and operational efficiency, and what is just hype.
Healthcare AI masterclass
A hands-on session for leaders and teams ready to move from hype to working AI in practice.
From product to patient: what your sales team needs to see
For national sales meetings, connecting the product in the box to the patient it actually reaches.
