6-7pm Networking
7-7:30pm Startup 5&5.
Three health startups will have five minutes to present and five minutes for Q&A and resource sharing from the audience.
Hypercare - Hypercare makes it simple for clinicians to coordinate patient care. We allow clinicians to find the on-call person for a specific role (e.g. on-call surgeon at a specific hospital) directly without intermediaries and facilitates secure and private communication of patient information
Endiatx - Endiatx is developing a series of pill-sized robots to perform remote diagnosis of illness within the GI tract, followed by moving into treatments beginning with biopsy, cauterization of bleeds, and removal of polyps.
Shapecrunch - Getting anything custom made for foot is a big problem. Shapecrunch is a mobile app which just requires 3 Pictures of foot, and using computer vision and machine learning we convert them into 3D model which is then 3D printed to create custom orthotics. The technology is being used by several clinics in India, Singapore and US.
7:30-8pm Keynote speaker "Scaling the Doctor's Office with AI" by Sophia Sanchez, Machine Learning Engineer at Curai
We are on the brink of a revolution in healthcare. A significant driving force is the recent advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI), especially at the intersection of deep-learning and healthcare.
At Curai, we are building a healthcare system with AI-in-the-loop that is poised to redefine and elevate the role of our doctors – empowering them to deliver the optimal care, when, where and to whom it is most needed. This talk will focus on applications of AI-powered medical diagnostics; how it is built and the challenges and promises of applying it in a real-world health setting.
8-9pm Networking
