Dr. Angelita Covington, MD
Dr. Covington founded Covington MedTech Consulting after years of practicing medicine with limited vision — and after seeing, again and again, that the barriers weren't about clinical skill. They were about software, workflows, and assumptions that nobody had thought to question.
"I didn't lose the ability to practice medicine. I lost access to tools that were never built to include me — and those are two very different problems."
A career shaped by both sides of the exam room and the screen.

Founding Covington MedTech Consulting
Covington MedTech Consulting launches to bring that combined clinical and lived experience to hospitals, medical schools, and health technology vendors — helping them build accessibility into clinical systems from the ground up.
Two kinds of expertise that rarely sit in the same room.
Clinical fluency
An understanding of what a workflow actually needs to accomplish — what information a physician must get from a chart, an image, or a monitor in the middle of a shift, and how quickly.
Lived experience of the gap
Firsthand knowledge of exactly where accessible technology succeeds and where it quietly fails a working clinician — the difference between a tool that looks accessible and one that actually is.
