Dennis Trujillo, founder of Mercurial AI, joins the show.

Mercurial’s mission is bold: to democratize medical intelligence and bring explainable AI into cancer care.

Growing up near Los Alamos, New Mexico, Dennis saw cancer devastate his family and community. With a PhD in physics and machine learning, he’s now channeling that experience into building tools that provide trustworthy, personalized insights for both patients and clinicians.

We discuss –

• How Dennis’ background in physics and material science inspired Mercurial’s causal AI methods
• CarePilot: a patient-facing app that connects directly to your health records
• OncoPilot: an AI-powered assistant for oncologists
• The challenge of integrating AI into clinical workflows without adding friction
• Global ambitions for multilingual, voice-first healthcare AI
• Building in Chicago vs the coasts, and lessons from early fundraising
• Why Dennis wants Mercurial to become the “Google for healthcare”

A conversation that blends science, personal mission, and the future of cancer care.
