# Ideas take form here. En Eidos. Where ideas take form. Dr. Elvis Jones. Solutions architect for AI, machine learning, and clinical platforms, Stanford Health Care. Monterey County, California, by way of Texas. Updated September 2026. I design AI and clinical platforms at Stanford Health Care, and I write the design down before anyone builds it. Eidos is the Greek word for form. This is where my ideas get theirs. ## About I'm a solutions architect for AI, machine learning, and clinical platforms at Stanford Health Care. [n07] I work on the team that built ChatEHR, a platform that lets clinicians and automations use language models against a patient's record inside the electronic health record. I helped write that work up for Stanford HAI [n16] and for arXiv. [n15] The methods are not tied to the building. They would hold at any health system that wants to run AI on its own terms. I hold a Doctor of Computer Science from Colorado Technical University. [n02] My doctoral research covered retrieval architectures and encrypted storage for AI systems, and that work continues here. [n11] I started in the U.S. Army as an Explosive Ordnance Disposal technician, 2006 to 2009. [n04] After the Army I worked as a contractor taking apart what the military no longer wanted: chemical munitions at Pine Bluff Arsenal in Arkansas, chemical weapons and submunitions in Utah, then artillery and rockets on the old ranges at Fort Ord. [n05] From there I moved into healthcare technology, running Epic training and a project management office at a community health system on the Central Coast. [n06] I hold PMP, TOGAF, and Epic certifications. [n03] I was born in Texas and live in Monterey County. [n31] Outside work I build a home AI lab, mod watches, grill, and hike most days. [n32] The habits I kept from the Army: slow is smooth, and smooth is fast. Look at everything before you touch anything. And the one EOD taught me, initial success or total failure, so the sequence gets written down first. ## What I build - Agentic platforms. Enterprise designs for systems where language models plan and act, with fixed checks and a human review step before anything reaches production. [n08] - Clinical AI automation. Pipelines that move clinical work through models safely: intake, classification, drafting, and routing, with every step traceable. [n09] - Architecture review. Decision records and review board submissions. The written argument for why a system is shaped the way it is. [n10] - Research. Retrieval architectures and encrypted storage for AI systems, carried forward from the dissertation into working code and papers. [n11] ## How I decide I use the seven Army values as a decision framework. They were written for soldiers. They hold up for architects. [n12] - Loyalty. To the patient and the clinician first, then the institution, then the vendor. - Duty. Finish the record. Ship the decision with its reasons attached. - Respect. Assume the operator is competent and give them the controls. - Selfless service. Publish the pattern. Let the next team skip the mistake. - Honor. Say what the system can't do, in the same document that says what it can. - Integrity. Every claim points to a source. If it can't, it isn't a claim. [n13] - Personal courage. Recommend against the popular design when the evidence says so. ## Published and recognized - Adoption and Use of LLMs at an Academic Medical Center. arXiv, January 2026.
