Airdate: April 14, 2023
The world of health tech has changed dramatically since decades ago when physicians had to endure 11 keystrokes to prescribe a single aspirin. These days, AI-based radiology and AI-based pathology are transforming patient lives through machine learning and data analytics, in some cases offering early disease warning systems and improving quality of care while reducing healthcare costs.
In this episode of Back Bay’s industry podcast, the Life Science Report, Jonathan Gertler speaks with Mikaela Odlander, Director of Digital Therapeutics at Orexo, and Edward Kliphuis, Investment Director at Soffinnova Partners, about the opportunities and challenges ahead in the realm of health tech and digital medicine.
Topics in this episode include:
The misperceptions around digital therapeutics and digital medicine
The impact health tech has on care, fostering adoption, hurdles to reimbursement
The stark difference between the European and Nordic vs. US healthcare markets
Examples of AI machine learning and how digital medicine is providing personalized, efficient and effective healthcare
