Feb 14, 2023 · Season 7 · Episode 23 · 24 min
Detecting cancer & heart eisease with 99% accuracy
Navid Alipour has spent many years in the world of medicine and AI, supporting and admiring doctors. He jokes that his wife and he are the black sheep of the family... because they aren't actual doctors. He's the co-founder and managing partner at Analytics Ventures, as well as serving on the board of multiple San Diego based companies. Outside of his professional ventures, he enjoys watching movies with his wife and kids.
Navid and his team explored the world of radiology, from a technology and data standpoint. After applying the same thought process and/or algorithm for predicting space weather, they processed millions of mammogram images to detect cancer in their patients. And it worked... really well.
This is the creation story of AI Med Global.
