About Linco

What is Linco Medical System?+

Linco is a U.S.-based managed expert-services company connecting AI organizations with qualified domain experts for specialized AI workflows.

Is Linco a staffing agency or freelancer marketplace?+

No. Linco is a managed expert-services provider. Organizations work through one commercial and operational relationship, and Linco manages expert sourcing, qualification, matching, coordination, and delivery.

Does Linco provide medical care?+

No. Linco supports medical AI evaluation and expert data work. It is not the practice of medicine and involves no patient care.

Where is Linco's medical expert network concentrated?+

Linco's initial medical expert network is concentrated in Ethiopia, with expansion planned across additional markets. Geography is considered when language or local clinical context is relevant to a project.

For AI organizations

What types of medical AI projects can Linco support?+

Clinical evaluation, expert feedback, safety testing, medical data creation, multilingual evaluation, clinical reasoning tasks, and other workflows requiring qualified medical expertise.

What information should we provide about a project?+

Tell us the clinical domain, work type, languages, expected capacity, timeline, delivery environment, and any security or confidentiality requirements. Linco will confirm fit and identify any additional information needed before proposing an engagement.

What specialties can you provide?+

Linco's initial medical expert network includes primary care and medical specialties. Available capacity depends on the project and current network.

Can Linco provide multilingual medical expertise?+

Yes. Current capabilities include English, Amharic, Tigrinya, and Oromo, with additional language coverage developing as the network expands.

Can Linco provide a cohort rather than individual experts?+

Yes. Expert capacity can be structured around project-specific requirements.

Where does project work take place?+

For current managed-delivery engagements, work can take place in the client's approved platform or environment. Linco manages expert access, agreements, coordination, work records, quality oversight, and compensation administration around that workflow.

How are experts selected for a project?+

Linco considers verified qualifications, relevant clinical expertise, language capability, experience, availability, and the stated requirements of the engagement. Selection is project-specific rather than automatic.

What does Linco manage during delivery?+

Depending on the engagement, Linco can coordinate onboarding, confidentiality acceptance, expert communication, progress records, quality review, issue escalation, and payment administration through one accountable relationship.

How does a project begin?+

Submit your requirements through the contact page. Linco then discusses the appropriate expert capacity and engagement structure.

Do you guarantee expert availability?+

No. Availability depends on specialty, project requirements, timing, and current network capacity.

How is pricing determined?+

Engagement pricing is project-specific and depends on expertise, complexity, volume, duration, and delivery requirements.

Can organizations request a pilot?+

Yes. Pilot engagements can be discussed based on project requirements and available expert capacity.

Quality and trust

How are experts qualified?+

Linco uses a structured multi-stage qualification framework covering professional credentials, clinical expertise, communication, safety judgment, identity, and project readiness.

How is quality maintained during a project?+

Delivery is supported by structured quality oversight covering accuracy, safety, task completion, client acceptance, responsiveness, and reliability.

How is confidentiality handled?+

Project material, client information, and assessment content are confidential and covered by contractual obligations for every participating expert.

Is patient data ever involved?+

No. Linco work involves synthetic cases, expert data, and AI outputs. Patient information must never be submitted.

For physicians

Who can join the expert network?+

Qualified physicians and medical professionals who can evidence their credentials, training, experience, and identity.

Is this employment or project-based professional work?+

Opportunities are generally offered as independent, project-based professional engagements unless a written agreement says otherwise. Each offer explains the work, expectations, timing, and compensation before you decide whether to participate.

Does joining guarantee work?+

No. Enrollment does not guarantee project placement, availability, or compensation.

What does enrollment involve?+

A guided profile covering personal details, medical background, credentials and documents, languages, availability, and assessments, followed by Linco review.

How long does review take?+

Review timing depends on the completeness of your profile, document verification, and current review volume.

What kind of work might I be asked to do?+

Depending on the project, physicians may evaluate AI-generated medical responses, compare clinical reasoning, identify safety concerns or edge cases, create or review expert reference material, annotate medical data, or assess language and healthcare context. The exact scope is disclosed before acceptance.

Do I need technical or AI experience?+

Not for every opportunity. Physicians need reliable internet access, comfort using online tools, and the ability to follow written project instructions. Some projects may require prior AI experience, additional preparation, or a project-specific assessment, and those requirements are stated in advance.

Why does Linco request credentials and identity documents?+

Linco uses them to confirm that each expert is a real, qualified professional. Documents are stored privately, reviewed only by authorized staff, and are not displayed publicly. Clients receive only the professional information appropriate to an engagement.

Does it cost anything to enroll?+

No. Linco does not charge physicians to create a profile, complete enrollment, or be considered for opportunities.

How and when will I be paid?+

Approved project work is paid through a locally available payment method selected during enrollment. Before you accept a project, Linco confirms the rate, currency, payment basis, schedule, and available payment method. Payment depends on accepted work completed under the applicable project agreement.

Can I participate in other work or platforms?+

Yes, unless a specific written project agreement includes a limited conflict or exclusivity requirement. You must still protect confidential information and meet every commitment you accept.

What if I am unavailable or want to decline a project?+

You may keep your availability current and decline an offered project before accepting it. Declining an opportunity does not by itself remove you from the network, although repeated failure to meet commitments after acceptance may affect future participation.

Do I need a U.S. medical license?+

No. Linco records your country of licensure as part of qualification. Work through Linco is not clinical practice in the United States.

Can I take part alongside other work?+

Yes. Participation is project-based and designed around agreed availability.
