Portable, Painless and Privacy-Aware: Breast Imaging For All


Listen Later

“We always love our technology,” Dr. Geetha says. “It’s easy to say - yeah, that false negative? It has to be false.” Today, I speak with the founder of Niramai, a safe, accessible AI-based cancer diagnostic that’s gone beyond buzzwords to create large-scale, global impact.

Join us to hear how Dr. Geetha built the world’s largest database of thermal breast images, navigated doctors’ worries of being replaced by A.I., and adapted her product for diverse contexts, to be low-cost for rural screening and low-risk for quick FDA clearance.

Along the way, she shares why cancer rates are increasing among young women, how entrepreneurship feels like racing down an empty highway, and the one thing in her daily routine she prizes more than food!
