Wilman Ortega MD, FCCP

About

I'm a Pulmonary, Critical Care, and Sleep Medicine physician with over a decade of experience in virtual ICU care, combined with hands-on work in medical device development and clinical innovation. My focus is at the intersection of cardiopulmonary medicine, digital health, and remote patient monitoring. As a founder building AI-enabled cardiopulmonary monitoring technologies, I’ve been closely involved in translating ideas into real-world solutions—working through product design, clinical relevance, and early commercialization challenges. Through that experience, I’ve developed a strong interest in a problem I see repeatedly: Many promising healthcare technologies struggle not because of the technology itself, but because they don’t fully align with how care is actually delivered in clinical settings. I work with early-stage digital health and medtech companies to help bridge that gap—particularly in: Cardiopulmonary care and monitoring Remote patient monitoring and hospital-at-home models Clinical workflow integration and adoption Early-stage clinical strategy and use case definition I also have experience as an NIH reviewer and have been involved in multiple SBIR and translation
