: Dr. Lynn is a pulmonary and critical care physician and the owner of Lyntek Medical Technologies, a medical research and development company which is developing an artificial intelligence platform which integrates deep neural networks with clinical time pattern visualizations.The intellectual focus of Dr. Lynn and the Lyntek research group on AI based time pattern imaging and analysis, and the development of IP in this field, generates the potential for both intellectual and financial bias in favor of the medical science of relational time pattern analysis.
