Dendro

AI-powered infrastructure that turns medical teaching — lectures, grand rounds, bedside sessions — into structured learning. From a single recording it produces a transcript and summary, Bloom's-aligned learning objectives, Anki flashcards, and USMLE-style multiple-choice questions with explanations.

300+ users · adopted across ~50% of Brown's medical school · an official part of the Brown Neurology clerkship · partnerships in Neurology Grand Rounds and Cardiology. Co-founded with Jay Khurana, MD.
