Clinician-Led Healthcare AI Consultancy

Think. Validate.
Deploy.

ThinkLoop is a clinician-led healthcare AI consultancy. We help hospitals, health-tech startups, payers, and pharma move from raw data to deployed, clinically defensible AI — closing the loop between clinical judgment and machine intelligence, with the rigor of peer review and the discipline of production engineering.

Why the name

The loop is the whole philosophy

The feedback loop is the core concept of medical AI done right. Our name carries the discipline into everything we build.

Loop 01

Human-in-the-loop

Clinical oversight is not a compliance checkbox — it is the design. Every model we ship keeps a clinician in the decision path.

Loop 02

Validation loops

PROBAST+AI and TRIPOD-aligned validation with honest performance metrics. No inflated claims, no silent leakage.

Loop 03

MLOps monitoring loops

Models that stay in production: drift detection, monitoring, and runbooks. AI that ships — and stays shipped.

Loop 04

Patient follow-up loops

Deployment is where medicine begins. We design for the ward, the clinic, and the patient who comes back.

What we do

Services

From first feasibility question to a monitored system in production — engagements are scoped, milestone-based, and always include validation as a named deliverable.

Strategy

Clinical AI Strategy & Feasibility

AI opportunity assessment, data-readiness audits, and regulatory path mapping (SFDA, FDA, EU AI Act). You get a strategy report and a realistic 12-month roadmap.

2–6 weeks · fixed scope
Core ★ Validation

Model Development & Clinical Validation

Model build with PROBAST+AI / TRIPOD-aligned validation, honest performance metrics, external validation design, and submission-grade documentation.

6–16 weeks · fixed scope
Production

Production ML / MLOps

Deployment, monitoring, drift detection, CI/CD for models, and operations runbooks. The difference between a demo and a system that stays in production.

4–12 weeks · fixed scope
Evidence

Healthcare Data Analytics & Real-World Evidence

NHANES, GBD, and EMR analytics; dashboards; real-world evidence generation; epidemiological studies with manuscript-ready outputs.

2–8 weeks · fixed scope
Leadership

Fractional Data / AI Leadership

Fractional Chief Data or AI Officer for health-tech startups and health systems — strategy plus hands-on execution, about 20–40 hours a month.

Monthly retainer · 3-month minimum
Capacity

Training & Workshops

"Explaining ML to Clinicians," data science bootcamps, and validation-methods workshops for hospitals, universities, and health ministries.

Half-day to multi-day
How we work

Approach

A surgeon's discipline applied to machine learning: examine carefully, validate honestly, and only then operate.

◆ Clinician-led, by design

Founded and run by an ENT surgeon and data scientist. We speak both languages fluently — the ward and the model card.

◆ Validation is the moat

PROBAST+AI and TRIPOD discipline on every engagement. If we cannot validate it, we will tell you before you pay for it.

◆ Production is the goal

Models that die in notebooks help no one. We engineer for deployment, monitoring, and long-term clinical use.

◆ Rigor without hype

Peer-review discipline in everything: reproducible pipelines, honest metrics, no pipeline comparisons, no inflated claims.

Dr. Sanyaolu Ameye

ENT Surgeon · Data Scientist · Founder, ThinkLoop
MBBSFWACSFMCORL Pg. Cert AI/ML (UT Austin)MSc Data Science (Deakin)

Dr Ameye is an ENT surgeon and data scientist with more than two decades in medicine and a focused second career in machine learning. He was a Reader (Associate Professor) in Otorhinolaryngology at Obafemi Awolowo University and its teaching hospital, and has published 26 peer-reviewed articles and two theses spanning clinical medicine and AI.

His research sits at the intersection that matters: audiology and hearing health, clinical fuzzy systems, and the WHO hearing-loss agenda — work that has produced a validated Fuzzy Audiometric Index and a research pipeline built on honest, reproducible validation. That is exactly the discipline he now brings to clients.

Based between the GCC and West Africa, with engagements across three continents, he leads ThinkLoop's projects personally — from the first data-readiness conversation to the deployed, monitored system.

Let's close the loop

Whether you are a hospital exploring AI feasibility, a startup that needs validated models, or a funder with an audiology agenda — the first conversation is free and it starts with the data question, not the demo.
