Frank Rudzicz—Winterlight Labs| Exploring the Basics of AI/ML in Healthcare [Ep.24]

In episode 24 of ReBootHealth, I speak with Frank Rudzicz. There’s been so much ‘hype’ around the use of artificial intelligence/machine learning in life sciences that I wanted to get a solid footing for where we are and what’s possible. Now this is a big topic and one show cannot do it justice, but as they say, you have to start somewhere. Frank and I started out with his own journey, moved to some high-level definitions in LLMs, discussed Winterlight Labs, and challenges for founders, and then moved on to elements Canada might need to accelerate AI/ML in healthcare and finally possibilities for where ML might be deployed. On this show, we only touched on AI in surgery, which I think could be a fascinating topic all on its own, so hopefully, we’ll get Frank back (…if he wasn’t too traumatized by my show!). As always, I hope you find the episode valuable. Please write a review on Apple Podcast.
