About
Mike Mallin, MD is TruDiagnostic's Chief Experience Officer, a board-certified emergency physician, and a longtime collaborator of Matthew Dawson, MD. He trained at the University of South Carolina School of Medicine and completed emergency medicine residency and emergency ultrasound fellowship at the University of Utah, where he served as chief resident and later Teacher of the Year. Mallin co-founded Wild Health, the Ultrasound Podcast, and the Ultrasound Leadership Academy, giving his TruDiagnostic role a rare mix of clinical practice, education, AI, and product design.
What to Know
Signature approach
Mallin's through-line is practical clinical usability. Point-of-care ultrasound taught him to value tools that answer a question quickly; at TruDiagnostic, that same mindset informs report design, AI-assisted interpretation, and how epigenetic data gets translated into something clinicians and motivated consumers can act on.
What sets them apart
- Clinical product builder. Mallin combines emergency medicine, precision-medicine entrepreneurship, and product design in one role.
- Long Dawson partnership. He co-built the Ultrasound Podcast, Ultrasound Leadership Academy, and Wild Health with Dawson before TruDiagnostic.
- Published education footprint. His 20+ publications and AHRQ-funded ultrasound work give him a credible medical-education base before the epigenetics pivot.
