Listen to the latest conversations around AI in Healthcare
October 18, 2023
DRIVE-Health's PhD student, Zeljko, has launched a podcast where doctors and developers deep dive into the possibilities of AI in healthcare. The podcast (with a twist) focuses on AI in healthcare! Dev 👨💻 & Doc 👨🏻⚕️, is where doctors and developers deep dive into the possibilities of AI in healthcare.
Joshua Au Yeung and Zeljko conceived this idea over a year ago, after countless talks at work, over coffee, water coolers, and bouldering sessions.
The idea is simple, doctors and developers are working together to achieve the same goal: Making an impact in healthcare and to patients using AI. However, we are often working towards this goal independently. Dev&Doc aims to open dialogue and share insights between developers (Zeljko) and doctors (Josh) in order to develop AI models that matter.
Please take some time to listen and join in to the latest conversations in AI in healthcare here.
