Today's guest is Erik Duhaime, Co-Founder and CEO at Centaur Labs in Boston, MA. Founded in 2017, Centaur Labs offers medical data labeling (classification, segmentation etc.) from a network of medical experts. Instead of having to choose between the high cost of hiring physicians or the low quality of crowdsourced/blended teams, they offer an alternative that leverages collective intelligence and performance based incentives.

Centaur Labs' technology - developed by researchers at MIT - collects multiple opinions per case with labelers competing against each other for cash rewards. This process ensures that quality assurance is baked into the process since the labelers are incentivized to perform at the highest level on every case analyzed. Centaur Labs offers industry leading accuracy, affordable pricing and very low management overhead on the part of the client since all engagements include a dedicated customer success manager.

In the episode, Erik will discuss:

An insight into the team and working culture, and
