30 years building tools that add hours back to a clinician's day
CEO at RealActivity | AI Pioneer | BOSHUG Founder | Microsoft Keynoter

I've spent my career at the intersection of healthcare and technology, not talking about AI transformation, but actually building it. In 2001, I designed a symbolic AI triage engine that eliminated pre-op anesthesia visits and accelerated same-day surgery pathways.

In 2023, my team shipped RealActivity Physician Activity Copilot, the world's first AI harness focused on hospital administration. And 2024, we shipped Wheelhouse, a model fine-tuned on PeopleSoft healthcare operations data and executive prompt workflows.

What happened in between? I trained 3,000+ engineers across GE, IDX, and Microsoft in enterprise software patterns. I migrated 50+ HIPAA workloads to Azure. I built the CMS compliance and activity reporting platforms that health systems still rely on. I earned Microsoft MVP recognition and was named Azure Most Influential, not for evangelism, but for implementation.

Today I'm CEO & Chief AI Officer at RealActivity, a boutique Microsoft partner delivering mission-critical AI for academic medical centers and health systems across the Northeast. Our focus? Tracking system wide clinical time (cFTE), CMS complaint AI, and improving operational efficiency, the problems that keep CMOs and CMIOs up at night. I'm also the founder of OCS Labs, an AI lab building industry-specific AI for government, and sectors where getting it wrong isn't an option.

I founded BOSHUG, the Boston Healthcare Cloud & AI Community, which has grown into a global network serving 40k. I'm a Cloud Wars healthcare AI analyst, a top 3% rated global speaker (Microsoft Ignite, Cloud Wars, and beyond).

Global citizen based in Greater Boston. When I'm not building healthcare AI, you'll find me at a Sicilian bakery arguing about lemon cake, sailing, snowboarding, diving, or planning the next adventure. 114 countries, and counting.

Most health and longevity speakers offer one of three things: a personal transformation story, a single-discipline expertise, or a wellness philosophy. Dr. Paul Kilgore brings something almost no one else on a stage can: the full vertical stack — from outbreak investigation in the field, to the bench science of clinical trials, to the bedside of 36 years of patient care, to the laptop of every audience member who walks away with working tools they can use that night.

His authority is built on a career at the front lines of public health science — much of it conducted on the ground, internationally. Dr. Kilgore lived overseas for 12 years and has conducted clinical work and research across approximately 30 countries, giving him a globally grounded perspective on infectious disease, travel medicine, vaccine policy, and the practical realities of staying healthy across cultures and borders. He is a board-certified internist, physician-epidemiologist, longevity medicine physician, Wayne State University professor, and former CDC Epidemic Intelligence Service Officer — the elite federal corps trained to investigate disease outbreaks in real time, known as the "Disease Detectives." He is a Fellow of the American College of Physicians (FACP) and the author of more than 150 peer-reviewed publications across vaccine science, infectious disease epidemiology, environmental health, travel and global health, and longevity medicine. He has served as a principal investigator on COVID-19 vaccine clinical trials, conducted research on the Flint Water Crisis, and advised on global immunization strategy. National media — including CBS News' The Takeout with Major Garrett and WDET's Detroit Today — turn to him when complex health science needs to be made clear, accurate, and actionable for the public.

What makes Dr. Kilgore singular among health and wellness speakers is what he has built outside the lecture hall. At drpaulkilgore.com, he has created one of the most comprehensive evidence-based longevity and wellness ecosystems available directly to the public — a working library of more than 50 physician-designed, trademarked health tools and risk calculators. These tools span the full architecture of personal health: biological age (Phenotypic Age Calculator), cardiovascular risk (CardioGuard HF™, AHA PREVENT CVD Risk), cancer (CancerClarity™), bone health (BoneWise™), cognitive and mental health (MindScreen™), nutrition and supplements (NutriGuard Rx™, SuppleSafe 360™), medication safety (MedCheck Rx™, MedList Pro™), vaccine planning (VaxLife™), travel and global health (TravelGuard™), women's health (OvarySpan™), endurance and athletic readiness (EnduranceReady™, IronReady™), and a full suite of biomarker analyzers covering metabolic, inflammatory, autoimmune, lipid, thyroid, iron, and kidney function. Alongside the tools, he has authored two structured courses — the Health Breakthrough Blueprint and the Personal Health Strategy program — a seven-volume checklist library with 860+ actionable items, 28 printable health-tracking templates, the "Ask Dr. Paul" podcast, and a tiered consultation practice that runs from focused four-session coaching to concierge-level longevity medicine. His content library is also licensed to employers as a turnkey corporate wellness solution covering up to 100 employees.

At the center of it all is the DETECTIVE Method™ — Dr. Kilgore's signature 9-step framework that translates the same evidence-based reasoning he was trained to apply to outbreaks into a personal health strategy anyone can use to live longer and healthier. It is the connective tissue between the science he has produced for three decades and the decisions a listener will make tomorrow morning.

What audiences get: a speaker who has done the science, written the papers, run the trials, sat at the bedside, built the tools, and worked across cultures and continents — and can hand attendees a working library, not a slide deck, the moment the talk ends. Conferences book Dr. Kilgore when they want a health keynote that delivers credibility, clarity, and immediate action — not just inspiration.

His message: you don't need a medical degree to make world-class decisions about your own health. You need the right framework, the right tools, and a physician who has spent 36 years — across more than 30 countries — figuring out how to put both in your hands.
