Thank you for your reply. Would you be so kind to elaborate on what you do for a living as well as in what capacity you work with MDs? Frey and Osborne (2013) published a paper that indicates how likely certain professions are to computerization. You can find it here:

However they didn't elaborate on the various medical specialties. Do you happen to have any information on that?

From what I hear MD/PhDs do research about 10-20% of their time, while they spend the remainder on treating patients. I'm afraid very few hospitals/practices would be willing to let me work only 3 days a week so I can work on a tech company on the side. I'd think maybe I could do some consulting but that's it; I don't think there would be time to pursue outright entrepreneurship.
