On this episode, we have Benyamin, a Doctor and co-founder of Deep Medical. He developed the idea for the company in 2020 alongside his co-founder, David Hanbury, who is an AI engineer. They wanted to help utilise appointments in healthcare more efficiently while being focused on finding solutions that were people-centred.

Using AI, Deep Medical is designed to better understand human behaviour and predict who might be at risk of missing their appointments with 90% accuracy. We talk about Benyamin’s journey to developing the product, how the product works, their current rollout and their ongoing ambition to reduce health inequalities.

  • Benyamin’s experience as a junior doctor

  • How he’s used AI and a patient-centric approach to find out how to prevent missed appointments
