Early life and education
Lin was born in Whippany, New Jersey. He attends Whippany Park High School, where he began conducting independent research and developing medical technologies focused on emergency medicine and global healthcare accessibility.{{Cite web |title=From ER Curiosity to AI Invention |url=https://medium.com/@2027.kenneth.lin/from-er-curiosity-to-ai-invention-my-journey-as-a-teen-innovator-in-emergency-medicine-30030c727a45 |access-date=May 6, 2025}} Lin describes his early passion for innovation as being less about traditional academics and more about "systems, edge cases, the way things broke and how they might be rebuilt smarter."
Career and Inventions
Lin's work focuses on using AI to optimize emergency medical systems. His notable inventions include:
CoEmergency, an FDA-compliant, AI-assisted triage tool designed for use in emergency rooms and by first responders.
The Accelerated Skin Prick Test (aSPT), an affordable, AI-powered diagnostic for allergies.
The Wall-Less Hospital, a proposed decentralized healthcare delivery model using AI and drone coordination to bring medical care to disaster and war zones, presented to the United Nations and World Health Organization.
In 2024, Lin was named a finalist in the Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship's (NFTE) World Series of Innovation under MetLife Foundation’s Good Health and Wellbeing Challenge.{{Cite web |title=NFTE Badge |url=https://www.credly.com/badges/c6c93d76-4c9c-4213-95ee-a1ed39125663/public_url |access-date=May 6, 2025}}
