Listen to doctor Thomas Sawyer, COO @ Cognetivity talk about an innovative digital platform platform (leveraging image recognition and Artificial Intelligence) that can detect brain deterioration to help patients and physicians define a course of treatment at an earlier stage.

The startup can detect users' cognitive function and determine if it is within a normal range (or not!) by using Artificial Intelligence to make judgement calls and recommendations about patient's patterns of responses to the test. The company will take their solution to market at the end of 2019.

Listen to Codrin Arsene interview Michael Klein, the CEO @ iCAD, one of the few FDA-approved artificial intelligence solutions for radiologists.

iCAD's AI analyzes hundreds of data-points to deliver powerful software solutions for breast tomosynthesis, breast density and 2D mammography.

In simple terms, the iCAD software (Profound AI) analyzes mammogram images and correlates them to demographic data to produce cancer probability scores for radiologists.

Whereas iCAD cannot officially 'diagnose' breast cancer, the software alerts radiologists of any abnormalities tied to mammogram images for further inspection.

In the clinical trial which led to iCAD getting FDA approval, Profound AI was responsible for detecting 8% more cancers than the group of radiologists that analyzed the same data set.

Listen to the podcast to learn about the history of iCAD, their current AI solution, new exciting features and functionalities iCAD plans to release later this year and the future of AI in healthcare.

Codrin Arsene talks to Joseph Truscelli, the CEO @ HelloAlvin, a leading telemedicine provider powered by Teladoc which is the oldest and largest telemedicine company In America.
