Through the adoption of AI,  the expanded use of technology, and the application of data, digital health investors are making healthcare more accessible, affordable, and easier for everyone involved - from the patients to those administering the care.

In this episode, I chat with Justin Norden, Partner at GSR Ventures, who invests in digital health companies.

Prior to GSR Ventures, he was CEO and co-founder of Trustworthy AI which was acquired by Waymo. 

Additionally, he worked on the healthcare team at Apple, co-founded Indicator - an NLP based platform for biopharma decision making, and helped start the Stanford Center for Digital Health. 

As an academic he is an award winning machine learning and bioinformatics researcher with 20+ publications. 

Finally, Justin is a former professional athlete and 3x world champion in ultimate frisbee. 

Justin received his MD from Stanford University School of Medicine, MBA from the Stanford Graduate School of Business, Master of Philosophy in Computational Biology from the University of Cambridge, and BA in Computer Science from Carleton College.
