Daina Tirrell, BSN, RN — Founder & CEO of dX80. A woman-owned, clinician-run company. Clinical floors first. AI fluency second. No software to sell, ever.
She left clinical practice pregnant with her son — and she was thrilled about it. Being a true stay-at-home mom wasn't a fallback; it was the plan, and she genuinely loved it. Then Mike — her husband — left his W2 when she was seven months pregnant and built Four Score Solutions from nothing, named for Lincoln, built on honesty. When the firm grew, he asked her to jump in on marketing, sales, and AI. The AI part took.
Daina went from full-time mom to figuring out AI for a tech company. Then a conference. And she realized that what she considered basic, everyday AI use was mind-blowing to almost everyone in the room. Nobody knew what a skill was.
She understood the gap. She understood the clinical stakes. She understood why physicians can come across as not the best versions of themselves — because she has spent her time on those units.
Tech people can build the tools. They cannot sit across from a physician and speak the language. She can. That's why she's here.
"If I'm wrong, tell me. I'm open to it."
Those aren't taglines — they're operating rules. Every dX80 assessor who enters a practice is a registered nurse licensed in Nevada — no exceptions. Technical specialists build under the direct supervision of extensive clinical experience. The clinicians run the show. That's the design, and it's permanent.
Patient educators reach one patient at a time. Daina reaches one practitioner. One practitioner logs thousands of patient visits a year. This is not bottom-of-system help. This is the upstream intervention.
