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

Tuesday, October 24, 2023 • Duration 01:13:57

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.

In episode 14 of ReBootHealth, I speak with Ali Tehrani. Ali is the co-founder and former CEO of Zymeworks, a publicly listed, clinical-stage, biopharmaceutical company focused on developing biotherapeutics in the oncology space. It was an honour and a joy to have Ali be a guest and share his deep knowledge around building one of the pioneer biotechnology ventures in the Canadian ecosystem. We could have spent hours on this show but decided to focus on the key passions of Ali including talent in biotechnology, permission to be ambitious, entrepreneurship, and the new world of biotechnology. There’s a lot more I wanted to explore and look forward to having Ali back on the show. For those of you who listen until the very end, a surprise ‘hack’ to quickly connect to one of Canada’s all-star biotech founders. As always, I hope you find the episode valuable.

Dave Kuraguntla—Alio| A Founder’s Journey in Remote Patient Monitoring [Ep.13]

Monday, January 3, 2022 • Duration 56:58

In episode 13 of ReBootHealth, I speak with Dave Kuraguntla. Dave is the founder and CEO of Alio, a non-invasive, remote patient monitoring start-up focused on chronic conditions. Telehealth and remote patient monitoring have been hot areas in venture over the last two years and we talk about Alio’s impact in this area. Dave talks about the importance of finding a tribe for founders, focusing on solving problems rather than building technology, the role incentives play in helping (or hindering) a market and the role serendipity can play with a founder’s journey. Dave is a classical “scratch the itch” type of founder who saw a problem and needed to solve it. While it sounds easy, Dave reminds us of many valuable lessons when building ventures in the health care market. If you’re a founder take note of his 4 “P’s”, it’s a good reminder of what it takes to get product adoption for health care innovation. As always, I hope you find the episode valuable.

Finally, we touch on the future of growing teams in early biotechnology and finish off with a brief primer on platform technology and its role in growing regional ecosystems. I was thrilled to have been connected with Ali, and hopefully after listening you’ll understand why he is a huge asset to the BC biotechnology ecosystem.

Peter van der Velden—Lumira Ventures| Backing Great Canadian Entrepreneurs [Ep.11]

Monday, November 22, 2021 • Duration 01:00:08

In episode 11 of ReBootHealth, I speak with Peter van der Velden. Peter is the Managing General Partner of Lumira Ventures, a multi-stage life sciences investment firm focused on biotechnology, medical technologies, digital health, and consumer healthcare solutions. Peter is no ‘biotech-tourist’ and so it was great to hear a seasoned veteran’s perspective on the Canadian health ecosystem. We could have chatted for hours, but I wanted to touch on the critical aspects of the innovation ecosystem: people, places, policies, and purse strings (‘capital’) that fuel our system. We explored many topics including Canada’s health innovation status, the role for institutional players and governments, and his perspective on how clinicians can become more involved. Peter has some specific thoughts on what needs to happen to boost our system to the next level. While some may not agree with all his ideas, it was refreshing to hear such a clear and articulate thesis of what needs to be done and where we need to go from here. I do hope some of the players mentioned in this show step up to life sciences, as Canada has a lot to offer the world from its great science! This episode was a pleasure to conduct with many useful nuggets and thought-provoking ideas. As always, I hope you find the episode valuable.

James Somauroo—SomX| Storytelling and Communications for Healthtech Start-Ups [Ep.10]

Saturday, October 23, 2021 • Duration 01:01:27

In episode 10 of ReBootHealth, I speak with James Somauroo. James is an anesthetist and intensivist in the UK who has become a healthtech start-up communication “whisperer”. He is the founder of SomX, host of the Healthtech Podcast, and editor and chief of Healthtech Pigeon. I was fascinated with James’s journey and felt a kindred spirit in helping to shine a light on all the great founders and activities in the healthtech ecosystem. I was particularly excited to invite James as my first, inaugural ‘across the pond’ guest. We touched on a number of topics including the power of storytelling, the importance of a communications strategy for healthtech start-ups, a high-level overview of the NHS healthtech ecosystem, and where we might go from here for the ecosystem in general. James is a prolific content distributor, and I was honoured to have him share his learnings. As always, I hope you find the episode valuable.

In episode 9 of ReBootHealth, I speak with Alexandra Greenhill. Alexandra is an emergency care physician and founder of Careteam Technologies. Alexandra has an immense depth of experience as a clinician, administrator in the healthcare ecosystem, and now as a founder and CEO. I crossed paths with Alexandra on a CDL reading club and quickly appreciated her passion for the fields of technology and health. On today’s show, we talk about some of her generalizable heuristics that all founders could benefit from, diversity in the health tech ecosystem, and the role of evidence for early-stage founders. If you’re an early founder in health tech (but particularly a woman) and not already following Alexandra Greenhill, you must add her to your list. As always, I hope you find the episode valuable.

Muhammad Mamdani—Unity Health Toronto| Implementing AI in healthcare [Ep.8]

Thursday, September 16, 2021 • Duration 54:23

In episode 8 of ReBootHealth, I speak with Muhammad Mamdani. Muhammad is Professor of Medicine at the University of Toronto and Vice-President of Data Science and Advanced Analytics at Unity Health Toronto. Muhammad bridges advanced analytics including machine learning with clinical and management decision-making to improve patient outcomes and hospital efficiency. I brought Muhammad on for 2 main reasons; one to shine a light on the great work being done by healthcare organizations in AI and health care and the second, to understand the more neglected parts of the exciting health innovation journey--technology evaluation and change management. Muhammad and his team have produced some amazing results through multiple projects at Unity Health. What struck me most was not the emphasis on specific data sets or ML models, but rather the impact of social buy-in and change as one of the most dominant factors for technology success. If you’re entering the field of ML/data helps to remember that this is still a ‘people industry’. As always, I hope you find the episode valuable.
