Autonomous Health Podcast
Welcome to the Autonomous Health Podcast, where we have conversations with academics, researchers, entrepreneurs and investors at the intersection of bringing AI and machine learning(ML) to healthcare and wellness.
About Your Host:
Anmol Madan is an entrepreneur, computer scientist, and executive who has been leading the digital health and AI revolution over the past two decades. Anmol has co-founded or held executive roles at multiple unicorns in the emerging field of digital healthcare; a field which has existed for less than two decades. His professional contributions in the field have received hundreds of millions of dollars in funding from leading VCs, and been featured in such media as CNBC, New York Times, Washington Post, and Wired Magazine. His scientific contributions have been published in dozens of scientific articles in leading computer science and digital health journals, and led to over 30 issued and pending US patents.
Anmol received a Ph.D. in machine learning applied to human behavior from the MIT Media Lab. In his spare time, he enjoys time with his family, which has recently meant changing a surprising number of diapers.

Sleep as a Competitive Advantage: Insights from Pilots and Astronauts Applied to Everyday Life
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This episode of Autonomous Health takes a longer-term look at the future of sleep. What can we learn about sleep in extreme environments from astronauts, military pilots, and oil rig workers? Our guest this episode is Dr. Cassie Hilditch, a scientist in the field of sleep countermeasures.
Sleep countermeasures, in simple terms, is discovering approaches to maximize the benefits of sleep in a continuous operating environment, such as military applications. In this episode, we discuss the role of light manipulation in minimizing fatigue, and give examples of how military operators and astronauts prepare for critical professional goals.
Cassie also shares how lessons in sleep countermeasures can apply to everyday consumers and the tens of millions of consumer devices that people use every day. Aerospace innovations have influenced consumer products in every sphere, from jet engines to GPS.
Our discussion then dives into how the sleep research community can keep up with the consumer data generated. One of the core limitations we dive into is performance evaluation and validation for rapidly changing consumer devices against a true sleep lab.
Listen as we brainstorm possible solutions, like creating common standards for consumer healthcare data, and as Cassie shares how this consumer data translates into designing better interventions and actions for all of us.
