A Note from James:

"I do think that the most important use case for AI is in extending our lifespans. And I think if this isn’t five or ten years in the future—this is right now. Things are happening in AI that are going to change healthcare overnight. Today, I’m continuing my discussion with Hamed Shahbazi, founder of Well Health. This is a publicly-traded company in Canada, and it’s already impacting millions of lives by applying AI to healthcare.

HealWell, one of Hamed’s companies, has processed over 18 million patient records. With this data, their AI can analyze symptoms and assist with diagnosis and treatment options faster than ever. Imagine calling your doctor, and before you even see them, AI has already pieced together potential diagnoses and suggested next steps. This is how we extend lives—prevention is the best cure, after all.

In this episode, Hamed and I talk about healthcare AI and how it’s poised to save millions of lives. I’ll be sharing updates on AI and healthcare companies doing interesting things in the next few months. So, listen in, subscribe, and let’s keep the conversation going. Here’s Hamed, talking about AI in healthcare."
