Cory Janssen—AltaML| Exploring the Basics of AI/ML in Healthcare [Ep.25]

In episode 25 of ReBootHealth, I speak with Cory Janssen. Cory is unique compared to previous guests with a background in finance as the founder of Investopedia and now operating AltaML. I’ve spoken to Cory on several occasions and really enjoy how he uses his business and founder experience to create a lens of AI/ML in healthcare. Today’s conversation focused on several high-level concepts including the challenges of building AI startups, regulations, Canada’s role in the future of AI/ML In healthcare, and the importance of data with maybe an overemphasis by some organizations on its value. To be clear, Cory brings a fresh perspective on what it takes to build AI/ML companies in any sector, but it’s clear that despite the challenges, he remains keen on building something massive in this industry!  As always, I hope you find the episode valuable.
