About Health Tech Reviews

Dr. Cross practiced internal medicine for six years before moving into the health technology sector. He served as medical director at a digital health startup (2018-2021), where he became deeply familiar with the gap between how health tech companies describe their products and how those products actually perform on clinical metrics. He founded Health Tech Reviews in 2021 with a mandate to apply the same evidence standards to consumer health tech that clinicians apply to medical interventions. He holds an MD from Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and an MPH from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

Sarah spent seven years as a consumer electronics journalist, including four years as a senior editor at Engadget covering wearables. She has reviewed more than 150 wearable devices and developed a proprietary GPS accuracy testing protocol adapted for outdoor and indoor conditions. At Health Tech Reviews, she leads all wearable evaluations and is responsible for establishing our standardized testing framework for heart rate accuracy, sleep staging, and activity recognition. Her coverage has been cited in IEEE Transactions on Consumer Electronics.

Dr. Sharma is a clinical pharmacist who spent eight years in hospital pharmacy before joining Health Tech Reviews. Her clinical background makes her uniquely qualified to evaluate medical devices against the standards set by clinical-grade equipment. She has deep expertise in continuous glucose monitor technology, having consulted on CGM implementation protocols for several hospital systems. She evaluates all FDA-cleared consumer medical devices and provides clinical context that distinguishes our coverage from purely tech-focused publications.

Chris has been covering mobile apps and digital health for nine years, previously as a contributing editor at The Wirecutter and then as health tech correspondent for a major digital publication. He brings a software engineer's technical eye to app evaluation — he can read privacy policies, understand API architectures, and identify when an app's claimed features don't match its technical implementation. He leads our health app reviews, including mental health apps, telehealth platforms, sleep applications, and fitness software.

Dr. Liu is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist with nine years of clinical practice in hospital and outpatient settings. Her research background includes dietary assessment methodology, and she has published on the accuracy of consumer nutrition tracking tools in peer-reviewed journals. At Health Tech Reviews, she leads all nutrition app evaluations, applying a clinical dietitian's perspective to assess whether apps make recommendations that would be appropriate in a clinical context. Her testing protocol for calorie tracking app accuracy — based on standardized meal preparation and USDA reference comparisons — is the most rigorous methodology published by any consumer review publication.
