Listen Later

Did you know traditional breast cancer screenings can miss early signs of the disease?

In this episode, we get an exclusive look into MedCognetics, a company using AI to revolutionize breast cancer detection. Matt Watson chats with guest Tim Cogan, MedCognetics co-founder & CTO, about how AI can:

  • Catch cancer earlier: Imagine AI spotting subtle abnormalities that might escape the human eye, leading to earlier intervention and potentially better outcomes.
  • Free up doctors' time: AI could become a doctor's partner, prioritizing patients and allowing for more focused care.
  • Improve accuracy: AI algorithms trained on vast datasets might produce more consistent and accurate diagnoses than traditional methods.

    • But developing AI for healthcare isn't without its challenges. We'll also discuss:

    • The road to FDA approval: The rigorous process of getting AI-powered medical tools cleared for use ensures patient safety and efficacy.
    • Building unbiased AI: Ensuring diverse datasets and addressing potential biases in AI development is crucial for fair and accurate diagnoses.
    • The changing role of the CTO: Tim Cogan, a seasoned software developer, shares how his perspective on technology has shifted to focus on business goals and, ultimately, improving patient care.

      • Join our host, Matt Watson, a tech leader with over 20 years of experience, and Tim Cogan as they explore the exciting potential of AI in breast cancer screening. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the future of healthcare, medical technology, and the fight against cancer.
