SHOW NOTES:
Smiletronix (@Smiletronix) - Yashar Faranjani (@yashar_f), Co-Founder & CEO - Personalized dental health screenings, handheld device
- Does this augment dentists, or eventually replace the dental check-up?
- Doctors tend to hate Web.md (everyone being an online doctor). How have dentists reacted to this service?
- Being based in Europe, are there unique characteristics of European markets or healthcare that make this more applicable to adoption?
Lazarus (Cambridge, MA) - Ariel Elizarov (@aelizarov12), Co-Founder & CEO - AI for cancer screenings
- Isn’t skin cancer (and moles) a fairly well-understood science at this point? What does AI bring to the equation?
- How is patient information (doctor notes) managed between the patient, any given doctor, and the on-going doctors on the platform?
- Your skin is a lifelong part of your health. How would this service work over a lifetime?
