Big Hill Run is a specialist consulting firm at the forefront of clinical artificial intelligence, founded by a physician and research scientist.

We work with healthcare organisations, research institutions, and digital health companies that require rare expertise: the combination of active clinical practice, rigorous academic research, and deep technical knowledge of AI systems in medical settings.

Our Founder

Gabriel Davis Jones is a physician and research scientist with a doctorate from the University of Oxford.

He has advised hospital systems, research funders, digital health companies, multinational medical device and life sciences companies, and academic institutions across the UK, USA, and internationally, including a formal advisory role to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation on AI in global health applications. He has sat on AI policy and safety committees, contributed to the drafting of international AI policy, and is a frequent invited speaker at international conferences and scientific meetings. His research focuses on clinical AI, health monitoring, and large language model safety in clinical settings, with peer-reviewed publications in top-tier journals.

He previously led Oxford Digital Health Labs as Principal Investigator, served as Director of Research and Development for the Dawes-Redman computerised CTG system, and as Director of AI and Big Data Analytics at the Oxford Centre for Global Epilepsy. He maintains an active clinical practice alongside his research and consulting work.

Our Approach

Most organisations working at the intersection of AI and healthcare face a persistent credibility gap: technical teams that lack clinical context, or clinical teams that lack technical depth. Big Hill Run exists to bridge that gap.

We bring first-hand experience of the full research lifecycle – from study design and ethics approval through to regulatory submission, peer review, and real-world deployment – combined with the clinical judgment that only comes from active patient care.

Our engagements are selective. We work with a small number of clients at any one time, ensuring the quality of attention that complex problems require.
