Allan Böhm, MD, MSc, PhD, MBA, FESC, FJCS (* 13 June 1988, Bratislava) is a Slovak cardiologist and researcher. His main areas of expertise include thrombosis, arrhytmias, acute cardiology, genomics, digital medicine and artificial intelligence.

He graduated from the 3rd Faculty of Medicine, Charles University in Prague. He was awarded an MBA at the Business Institut in Prague and a PhD at the Slovak Medical University in Bratislava. In 2023, he successfully completed his studies at the University of Oxford, where he received an MSc degree in Clinial Trials.

In the years 2015 - 2023, he worked as a cardiologist at the Intensive Cardiac Care Unit at the National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases in Bratislava.

In 2015, he founded Premedix Academy, a non-profit research organization that leads international educational and research projects in biomedicine.

In 2018, he actively participated in the establishment of the European Committee for Digital Health, where he took an interest in Precision Medicine.

In 2020, he became a board member of the European Society of Cardiology as the first Slovak and the historically youngest (31-year-old) member.

In 2021, he established a precision medicine clinic Premedix Clinic in Bratislava, where he also works as a cardiologist.

Currently, he also teaches at the III. Department of Internal Medicine of the Faculty of Medicine at Comenius University.

In 2022, he founded a medtech start-up Seerlinq focused on the analysis of photoplethysmographic curve utilizing machine learning, which aims to personalize the treatment and diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases.
