  • 00:00:07
    so now we move from patient care to Life
  • 00:00:09
    Sciences to understand how the
  • 00:00:11
    Enterprises in the Life Sciences sector
  • 00:00:14
    what are they doing about AI so we've
  • 00:00:16
    picked a panel first of all tun matur is
  • 00:00:18
    the CTO of indigene and he's kindly
  • 00:00:22
    agreed to moderate the panel we have uh
  • 00:00:25
    Jeremy Zang from Gilead he brings the
  • 00:00:28
    length of uh the clinical research drug
  • 00:00:32
    development to this discussion uh we
  • 00:00:35
    have uh Michelle rorer she brings the
  • 00:00:38
    regulatory lens you know when I was
  • 00:00:39
    asking Michelle what she's most
  • 00:00:42
    passionate about she said it takes too
  • 00:00:44
    long from the time we realize we have a
  • 00:00:46
    medicine to the time we dose the first
  • 00:00:48
    patient I want to cut that time and I
  • 00:00:50
    want to see how AI can help us cut that
  • 00:00:52
    time so that's her passion and finally
  • 00:00:54
    priia Priya is a CEO of alive core so
  • 00:00:57
    she brings both the Enterprise lens and
  • 00:01:00
    as well as what alive core is doing to
  • 00:01:02
    incorporate AI into their products and
  • 00:01:05
    solutions so uh tarun matur uh will
  • 00:01:09
    moderate the session he's right behind
  • 00:01:12
    me I'm really excited to be able to
  • 00:01:16
    engage with a really distinguished panel
  • 00:01:17
    of experts and our topic is of course
  • 00:01:21
    one that's on the top of all of our
  • 00:01:22
    minds we've seen it throughout the
  • 00:01:23
    various sessions these couple of days um
  • 00:01:26
    my name is teron Mo I'm the chief
  • 00:01:28
    technology officer for indig
  • 00:01:30
    and uh so our company is a 25-year-old
  • 00:01:33
    organization we exclusively work in the
  • 00:01:36
    Life Sciences space Enterprise Life
  • 00:01:37
    Sciences to be more specific and we are
  • 00:01:40
    primarily a services and solutions
  • 00:01:42
    company about 6,000 is employees 40% of
  • 00:01:46
    our company are domain experts so
  • 00:01:47
    clinicians pharmacists um other uh
  • 00:01:50
    business experts and we have heavy
  • 00:01:52
    technology expertise as well now with
  • 00:01:55
    the Gen revolutions happening we we
  • 00:01:58
    recognized a few years ago this shift in
  • 00:02:01
    Opportunity that's happening with geni
  • 00:02:03
    and I can say from the indigene side we
  • 00:02:06
    actually went through a substantial
  • 00:02:07
    reorganization within the company to
  • 00:02:09
    really capitalize on that intersection
  • 00:02:11
    of domain and technology and so we've um
  • 00:02:15
    rebuilt our teams we we've changed the
  • 00:02:17
    processes we you know sdlc for familiar
  • 00:02:19
    with software development life cycle
  • 00:02:21
    we've actually rebuilt that thinking
  • 00:02:22
    about how do I fold in domain experts
  • 00:02:25
    differently and we started from prompts
  • 00:02:28
    to we heard retrieval augmentation and
  • 00:02:30
    today is all about agents and we've
  • 00:02:31
    heard a couple of talks about the power
  • 00:02:33
    of Agents so U we've seen a lot of
  • 00:02:36
    really amazing opportunities from the
  • 00:02:37
    services uh side of the business on what
  • 00:02:40
    you can do from Clinical Research
  • 00:02:41
    through medical and Regulatory writing
  • 00:02:43
    and submission all the way through
  • 00:02:44
    commercialization and postc
  • 00:02:46
    commercialization activities I'm I'm
  • 00:02:48
    honored to have such a fantastic panel
  • 00:02:50
    of experts here who really know this
  • 00:02:52
    space inside and out and I want to make
  • 00:02:54
    sure that we really can get great
  • 00:02:55
    advantage of their time so what'll do is
  • 00:02:58
    maybe we'll dist off the discussion if
  • 00:02:59
    each of you then can introduce yourself
  • 00:03:00
    while we talk about the uh The Prompt
  • 00:03:03
    but let's let's start off with really
  • 00:03:04
    from an entrepreneur and innovator lens
  • 00:03:08
    within your functions in your space What
  • 00:03:10
    are some of the big challenges that
  • 00:03:12
    you're seeing and what are some of the
  • 00:03:14
    opportunities and maybe they're the same
  • 00:03:15
    thing right opportunities come from
  • 00:03:17
    challenges but maybe we can start from
  • 00:03:19
    from uh that discussion and maybe you'll
  • 00:03:22
    follow the the drug life cycle maybe
  • 00:03:24
    Jeremy I'll start with you and look at
  • 00:03:26
    from the clinical side of things um
  • 00:03:28
    maybe you can tell us bit about yourself
  • 00:03:29
    and your function and the opportunities
  • 00:03:31
    and challenges that you're seeing in
  • 00:03:32
    your your role sure and yeah thank you
  • 00:03:34
    so much tan and avanish for inviting me
  • 00:03:37
    um so I lead drug uh drug Discovery and
  • 00:03:40
    development uh from an AI perspective at
  • 00:03:43
    Gilead um we a medium-size Pharma of
  • 00:03:46
    about $27 billion of Revenue um and by
  • 00:03:50
    far like if you're in this space you
  • 00:03:51
    know about eo's law which means that the
  • 00:03:54
    ROI of drug R&D is trending towards like
  • 00:03:58
    negative so so AI I think is like one of
  • 00:04:01
    the things that can potentially turn
  • 00:04:03
    this around like there was a blip during
  • 00:04:04
    covid where the ROI went up um and there
  • 00:04:07
    was a famous story that fiser claimed
  • 00:04:09
    that they developed their drug using AI
  • 00:04:11
    the reality is um and I think the last
  • 00:04:14
    uh speaker said it really well the AI is
  • 00:04:16
    quickly not becoming that much of a
  • 00:04:19
    differentiator um I think even at Gilead
  • 00:04:21
    what we're seeing is that the key to
  • 00:04:23
    providing value and one of the biggest
  • 00:04:25
    challenges that we face um especially
  • 00:04:28
    when I I speak to startups in this space
  • 00:04:30
    like pretty much weekly I think the key
  • 00:04:32
    differentiator that I see is the ones
  • 00:04:34
    that really understand how to address
  • 00:04:36
    the challenge of integrating the AI into
  • 00:04:39
    how decision- making actually happens
  • 00:04:41
    for like these billion dooll drug
  • 00:04:43
    development programs are the ones that
  • 00:04:45
    really get like a second look from us or
  • 00:04:48
    even like a CO a partnership or a
  • 00:04:50
    co-design opportunity um the ones that
  • 00:04:53
    we tend to skip over are the ones who
  • 00:04:55
    try to lead too much with hey we have
  • 00:04:57
    like some AI special secret sauce um but
  • 00:05:00
    since we partner with like open Ai and
  • 00:05:01
    anthropic we know that that's probably
  • 00:05:03
    not really the case especially for a
  • 00:05:06
    really small and early startup so any
  • 00:05:08
    any any you know group of entrepreneurs
  • 00:05:11
    that really understands like how to
  • 00:05:12
    actually integrate into the clinical
  • 00:05:14
    workflows and also decision decision-
  • 00:05:16
    making and development is really the
  • 00:05:18
    ones that are actually addressing the
  • 00:05:19
    challenges so that's so that's
  • 00:05:21
    interesting for from a business side of
  • 00:05:24
    of the view this technology enablers are
  • 00:05:26
    one thing so certainly familiar with the
  • 00:05:27
    anthropic and open eye so we're seeing
  • 00:05:29
    powerful technology enablers um then the
  • 00:05:32
    change management aspect so for example
  • 00:05:35
    we can go to maybe gp4 and through
  • 00:05:39
    clever prompting and Rag and agents make
  • 00:05:41
    it do claims right uh or try to identify
  • 00:05:44
    new claims but from a change management
  • 00:05:47
    and Regulatory perspective are there
  • 00:05:49
    certain challenges or roadblocks in
  • 00:05:50
    terms of establishing The credibility or
  • 00:05:52
    trust that you see from your function um
  • 00:05:55
    along those
  • 00:05:56
    lines yeah maybe I can answer it and
  • 00:05:58
    actually I think Michelle probably has a
  • 00:06:00
    really good followup to this um you're
  • 00:06:02
    absolutely right I think one of the
  • 00:06:03
    biggest challenges in a really highly
  • 00:06:05
    regulated space is um our threshold for
  • 00:06:09
    risk is is quite High um so if we see
  • 00:06:13
    something that's um potentially or
  • 00:06:15
    actually quite low like if we see see
  • 00:06:17
    something that is even has a chance of
  • 00:06:19
    impacting patient safety it's just
  • 00:06:21
    completely unacceptable to use um which
  • 00:06:23
    makes it very difficult to trust large
  • 00:06:25
    language models in a vacuum for any kind
  • 00:06:27
    of um design of a clinical study or
  • 00:06:31
    patient you know research angle making
  • 00:06:33
    product claims about what drugs can do
  • 00:06:36
    um everything is augmentation um and I
  • 00:06:39
    think that's another approach like I
  • 00:06:41
    highly recommend people take is to
  • 00:06:43
    approach it from an augmentation
  • 00:06:44
    perspective um and I I really think that
  • 00:06:47
    we will almost never reach a state where
  • 00:06:49
    a large language model can perfectly
  • 00:06:51
    prescribe um like how to run a program
  • 00:06:53
    because there just too much risk
  • 00:06:54
    associated with patients Michelle yeah
  • 00:06:56
    Michelle it's a great segue to you if
  • 00:06:58
    you can maybe introduce yourself thanks
  • 00:07:00
    hi good morning good afternoon everyone
  • 00:07:02
    Michelle roar I come to from jentech Ro
  • 00:07:05
    where I head up development regulatory
  • 00:07:09
    um we can talk at length about the
  • 00:07:11
    challenges of AI use in a large Pharma
  • 00:07:15
    and there are also an abundant number of
  • 00:07:18
    opportunities but if I could take you
  • 00:07:20
    into my world of regulatory for a minute
  • 00:07:23
    a key two key challenges that I would
  • 00:07:26
    highlight um for you um did you know
  • 00:07:29
    know that by and large drugs are
  • 00:07:32
    developed and reviewed with Regulators
  • 00:07:35
    still in more or less a paper format now
  • 00:07:39
    it is an electronic paper format but we
  • 00:07:42
    have to create large volumes of um
  • 00:07:46
    Consolidated PDFs that are linked of
  • 00:07:50
    course electronically and then the
  • 00:07:52
    regulatory reviewers at the different
  • 00:07:55
    countries and we operate in excess of
  • 00:07:57
    150 countries all review these large um
  • 00:08:01
    electronic
  • 00:08:03
    dossier that's a real reality for us
  • 00:08:07
    which means that those dossier that are
  • 00:08:10
    electronic paper need to be
  • 00:08:14
    written um and now of course we can we
  • 00:08:17
    can leverage generative Ai and
  • 00:08:19
    structured content management to write
  • 00:08:21
    those dossier um but the
  • 00:08:24
    opportunity um is is really large um in
  • 00:08:30
    part because of a stark
  • 00:08:32
    reality and I want to take you into a
  • 00:08:34
    world where you all pretend that you are
  • 00:08:38
    innovators at a biotech or at a large
  • 00:08:41
    Pharma and you have a drug that you're
  • 00:08:43
    really excited about that you've been
  • 00:08:45
    developing you've been running it
  • 00:08:47
    through the phase one phase two and
  • 00:08:48
    phase three trials and you're at the
  • 00:08:51
    point where you have pivotal trial data
  • 00:08:54
    now let's just pretend that this trial
  • 00:08:57
    data set is a large data set said maybe
  • 00:09:01
    upwards of a th000 patients maybe 2,000
  • 00:09:04
    patients and you're operating in a
  • 00:09:06
    disease where there is no drug there is
  • 00:09:08
    an unmet medical need and you're sitting
  • 00:09:11
    in the room and we're the review team
  • 00:09:13
    and we're sitting in the room when we
  • 00:09:15
    unblind that
  • 00:09:17
    data and the data is very clear this
  • 00:09:20
    product works and it works like Gang
  • 00:09:24
    Busters let's just pretend that it saves
  • 00:09:27
    lives people live if you get the treated
  • 00:09:31
    treatment or they die if they don't you
  • 00:09:34
    know that
  • 00:09:36
    day that you have a
  • 00:09:39
    drug you are
  • 00:09:42
    probably approximately 6 months away
  • 00:09:45
    from submitting that data to regulators
  • 00:09:49
    and then Regulators will review that
  • 00:09:50
    data for another
  • 00:09:52
    year but you know that day you have a
  • 00:09:55
    drug this is our inefficient process
  • 00:09:59
    that Jeremy alluded to the opportunity
  • 00:10:02
    is that the day after that unblinding in
  • 00:10:06
    the world of using Tech from both the
  • 00:10:09
    innovator side as well as the regulator
  • 00:10:12
    side that the next day you have a drug
  • 00:10:15
    that's available for patients and we
  • 00:10:17
    will be there someday but we're not
  • 00:10:20
    there today because we are drowning in a
  • 00:10:24
    paper process that is regulated and
  • 00:10:28
    expected
  • 00:10:31
    so there's a a lot of daylight between
  • 00:10:34
    the opportunity and the challenge but I
  • 00:10:36
    do believe um that together because of
  • 00:10:40
    the inefficiencies of the process are
  • 00:10:43
    creating bottlenecks both at the
  • 00:10:44
    regulator side as well as the sponsor
  • 00:10:48
    side in terms of having an business
  • 00:10:51
    models that are are profitable and can
  • 00:10:54
    sustain The Innovation that the
  • 00:10:56
    dissatisfaction is rising to a level
  • 00:10:59
    where we will see breakthroughs and that
  • 00:11:01
    there will be more experimentation to
  • 00:11:03
    lead us to the world of when we know we
  • 00:11:05
    have a drug it will be available for
  • 00:11:08
    patients in a very short time window and
  • 00:11:11
    now I want to introduce you to my
  • 00:11:13
    colleague priia who has a really
  • 00:11:15
    exciting company with um a patient
  • 00:11:17
    centered approach just keep I could just
  • 00:11:20
    keep listening to all of you seriously
  • 00:11:22
    um hi everybody I'm priia abani CEO of
  • 00:11:24
    live core uh been here a little bit over
  • 00:11:27
    4 and a half years came from Tech so I
  • 00:11:30
    came from the Dark Side um and uh
  • 00:11:33
    strongly believe in this intersection of
  • 00:11:35
    healthcare and Tech because I think we
  • 00:11:37
    all know the challenges that we are
  • 00:11:38
    facing including some of what was
  • 00:11:40
    mentioned right now and that's not just
  • 00:11:42
    for drug delivery and Drug creation it's
  • 00:11:44
    also for devices it's also for AI it's
  • 00:11:47
    the same process that we all go through
  • 00:11:48
    of creating something that we know is
  • 00:11:51
    going to change the lives of millions of
  • 00:11:53
    people but then having waiting for those
  • 00:11:56
    processes to unfold and sometimes many
  • 00:11:58
    many years go by before actually
  • 00:12:00
    patients can benefit from it so a little
  • 00:12:03
    bit about aive cod we're a health tech
  • 00:12:04
    company we are devoted to the
  • 00:12:07
    advancement of remote cardiological care
  • 00:12:10
    and just from our Journey's point of
  • 00:12:12
    view we our founder founded the company
  • 00:12:15
    like about I think 11 years back I'm
  • 00:12:17
    losing track of time now because years
  • 00:12:19
    are just flying by this is the longest
  • 00:12:21
    I've been in one job by the way um and I
  • 00:12:24
    feel like I'm just getting started but
  • 00:12:26
    um we started off with the single lead
  • 00:12:27
    ECG device we went to a six lead ECG
  • 00:12:30
    device we're now in the process of going
  • 00:12:32
    through clearance of a 12 lead device
  • 00:12:34
    that can be used from home uh but what
  • 00:12:36
    is changed in the meantime is we have
  • 00:12:38
    been doing AI way before it was school
  • 00:12:41
    so um we had like you know three
  • 00:12:43
    determinations uh for those of you who
  • 00:12:45
    know something about the heart we had
  • 00:12:47
    arhythmia so atrial fibrillation Brady
  • 00:12:50
    cardia Taki cardia then we basically
  • 00:12:52
    looked at another lead and we said we
  • 00:12:54
    can do more things so we started doing
  • 00:12:57
    cue prolongation detection we started
  • 00:12:59
    doing sinus rhythms we are now looking
  • 00:13:01
    at atrial flutter and then with the 12
  • 00:13:04
    lead of course we want to expand that
  • 00:13:06
    the reason I'm saying this is this is
  • 00:13:08
    clinical Ai and that's the only way it's
  • 00:13:11
    going to be built it's not going to be
  • 00:13:12
    algorithmic anymore some things are okay
  • 00:13:14
    to be algorithmic but the kinds of uh
  • 00:13:17
    data that we can feed to DNN right now
  • 00:13:20
    there is no human possibility for
  • 00:13:22
    anybody even like a whole set of human
  • 00:13:24
    beings to consume that and train
  • 00:13:26
    themselves to create that kind of
  • 00:13:28
    prediction um and that's something we
  • 00:13:30
    all have to understand so from my point
  • 00:13:31
    of view I see nothing but opportunity
  • 00:13:34
    now of course generative AI is the new
  • 00:13:37
    buzz word we all like it we all
  • 00:13:39
    understand it but we have been very
  • 00:13:40
    measured right so the first thing we did
  • 00:13:42
    is we took um I want say chat GPT but we
  • 00:13:46
    took open AI you know GPT version
  • 00:13:49
    something put a rapper around it trained
  • 00:13:51
    it only to address cardiological needs
  • 00:13:55
    so it's right now sitting there as a
  • 00:13:57
    Bart in some of our device and some of
  • 00:13:59
    our subscriptions where the patient can
  • 00:14:01
    go and say hey my heart I'm having
  • 00:14:03
    palpitations I drank water today and I'm
  • 00:14:06
    doing this tomorrow is this okay or what
  • 00:14:08
    am I feeling do I have a blood pressure
  • 00:14:10
    issue Define atrial tribulation for me
  • 00:14:13
    so it's sitting and doing something very
  • 00:14:14
    simple right now we're watching how
  • 00:14:17
    people are using It ultimately we do
  • 00:14:20
    think this will become a coach because
  • 00:14:22
    right now in our system we have human
  • 00:14:23
    coaches right and we of course have
  • 00:14:25
    cardiologists which I frankly I don't
  • 00:14:27
    think will'll ever be replaced uh
  • 00:14:29
    hopefully they can use all these tools
  • 00:14:31
    to augment and just get more efficient
  • 00:14:33
    and better uh but I think that human
  • 00:14:35
    coach element can probably be augmented
  • 00:14:38
    with an AI coach and that's what we are
  • 00:14:41
    doing right now so it's it's a step by
  • 00:14:42
    step you're not going wild and saying
  • 00:14:44
    I'm going to push this out there you
  • 00:14:46
    know in its full form because I don't
  • 00:14:48
    know what the definition of the full
  • 00:14:49
    form is and because we are already
  • 00:14:52
    training people to start using devices
  • 00:14:56
    in the first place to start monitoring
  • 00:14:58
    thems eles you can't throw like an
  • 00:15:01
    extreme thing at them just because the
  • 00:15:03
    tech industry thinks it's cool and this
  • 00:15:05
    is from a person who used to work on
  • 00:15:07
    Alexa which was all AI right so even I
  • 00:15:10
    understand the measured approach uh and
  • 00:15:12
    then how do you train but most
  • 00:15:15
    importantly win the trust of your
  • 00:15:17
    customer and the patient step by step to
  • 00:15:21
    ultimately take them to where you know
  • 00:15:23
    we all think they should be at so um I
  • 00:15:26
    mean it's a very exciting world right
  • 00:15:28
    now Hospital are running at Major you
  • 00:15:30
    know really thin margins we don't have
  • 00:15:33
    enough resources enough Physicians
  • 00:15:35
    there's like one cardiologist per 10,000
  • 00:15:37
    population in the United States um we
  • 00:15:39
    don't have enough nurses as we all know
  • 00:15:41
    we don't have enough administrative
  • 00:15:42
    staff U I mean how is this going to work
  • 00:15:45
    especially for a aging population so I
  • 00:15:48
    think AI is here to stay and it is going
  • 00:15:50
    to be a roll out some people will be
  • 00:15:52
    fast some people will be slow but the
  • 00:15:54
    patient has to accept it the system has
  • 00:15:56
    to accept it so that's kind of my
  • 00:15:59
    impression great thanks for and what I'm
  • 00:16:01
    hearing is and a common theme is that
  • 00:16:03
    the significant opportunities we see
  • 00:16:06
    were focused on getting AI into the
  • 00:16:08
    hands whether it's patients and
  • 00:16:09
    caregivers like you're talking about
  • 00:16:10
    priia or in the business how do I get
  • 00:16:12
    the right medicines to the right
  • 00:16:14
    patients faster right it's obviously
  • 00:16:15
    good for everybody at the same time
  • 00:16:17
    we're managing risks and we're trying to
  • 00:16:18
    figure out how to mitigate that I'm
  • 00:16:20
    Wonder within your roles have you seen
  • 00:16:23
    have there been certain heris or
  • 00:16:24
    approaches that okay we're going to be
  • 00:16:26
    launching gen we're going to try using
  • 00:16:28
    it in some way but here's a a measured
  • 00:16:29
    methodology for how we measure risks so
  • 00:16:32
    that we can make decisions and I'll tell
  • 00:16:33
    you from our our perspective we haven't
  • 00:16:35
    found a workbench for building gen
  • 00:16:38
    applications that infuses actual prompt
  • 00:16:41
    evaluation and testing Frameworks at a
  • 00:16:43
    sophisticated level right we've had to
  • 00:16:44
    build our own at indene but in each of
  • 00:16:47
    your organizations as you've been in
  • 00:16:48
    this geni journey have you started
  • 00:16:50
    tackling this problems about folding in
  • 00:16:52
    issues or un responsible ethical safety
  • 00:16:55
    and risk into your workflow and
  • 00:16:56
    processes maybe you can speak a bit
  • 00:16:57
    about that and Michelle you started off
  • 00:17:00
    Jeremy you're about to go the mic so you
  • 00:17:01
    start Jeremy yeah I guess we'll follow
  • 00:17:03
    the order so your spot on like I think
  • 00:17:06
    one of the biggest challenges is you
  • 00:17:07
    know you see a whole bunch of very
  • 00:17:10
    interesting Solutions um everything from
  • 00:17:13
    how to prescreen patients better lead
  • 00:17:15
    generation um how to design clinical
  • 00:17:17
    trials how to find patients through
  • 00:17:20
    terabytes of medical claims and EMR I
  • 00:17:23
    think the common challenge is well how
  • 00:17:24
    do you evaluate the effectiveness of
  • 00:17:26
    that solution and as well as the safety
  • 00:17:28
    um so internally we've tried to develop
  • 00:17:31
    adversarial challenges to multiple
  • 00:17:33
    different types of llms um we Implement
  • 00:17:36
    those challenges whether it's for
  • 00:17:37
    summarization extraction or whatever the
  • 00:17:40
    vendor is trying to do um but you're
  • 00:17:42
    right like if somebody could just come
  • 00:17:43
    up with something like almost every
  • 00:17:45
    single large Enterprise would be on
  • 00:17:46
    board immediately um to some sort of
  • 00:17:48
    like useful framework for adversarial
  • 00:17:50
    challenges for NLP um it would just see
  • 00:17:53
    so much usage um in a vacuum I know not
  • 00:17:56
    just at Gilead but I've You Know spoken
  • 00:17:58
    to colleagues at NCH and uh astroica for
  • 00:18:00
    example everybody is trying to develop
  • 00:18:02
    those Frameworks due to the risky nature
  • 00:18:04
    of what we do right so sure yeah you can
  • 00:18:08
    really we have ai being embedded
  • 00:18:10
    throughout the drug development
  • 00:18:11
    Continuum all the way to drug Discovery
  • 00:18:13
    to um protein engineering or small
  • 00:18:17
    molecule engineering um to decision
  • 00:18:19
    support like how do you make sure that
  • 00:18:22
    you're making the right bets in your
  • 00:18:24
    portfolio um to designing the protocols
  • 00:18:28
    um here AI is competing with Scientists
  • 00:18:31
    who always want more
  • 00:18:32
    data and so designing a protocol that
  • 00:18:35
    just collects enough data um to doing
  • 00:18:38
    things that probably you all are quite
  • 00:18:40
    well aware of like um translation of
  • 00:18:44
    informed consense um a few years ago we
  • 00:18:46
    used to have to have a person translate
  • 00:18:48
    into the multiple languages where we run
  • 00:18:51
    a clinical trial but today we can do
  • 00:18:53
    that um using a bot um so there's a the
  • 00:18:57
    ho there's a host of bis for for AI or
  • 00:19:00
    large language models generative AI or
  • 00:19:03
    technology Bots to be used throughout
  • 00:19:05
    the Continuum and I I would say that the
  • 00:19:08
    interest from the industry is at an
  • 00:19:09
    all-time high um because the the ROI
  • 00:19:14
    generally is declining and and that's
  • 00:19:16
    due to the increasing costs and
  • 00:19:19
    complexity of operating in this
  • 00:19:22
    space yeah just I I I agree with
  • 00:19:25
    everything that's being said but just to
  • 00:19:27
    add to that right ethical so security
  • 00:19:30
    privacy consent um for us in our case
  • 00:19:34
    getting data from a vast majority of
  • 00:19:37
    people who look different from each
  • 00:19:40
    other um you know making sure we do that
  • 00:19:42
    like when we train U you know a DNN on 1
  • 00:19:46
    million ECGs you don't want it all to be
  • 00:19:49
    from the same zip code from Bay Area
  • 00:19:52
    right or uh specific so I I I think
  • 00:19:55
    making very deliberate efforts to you
  • 00:19:58
    know be
  • 00:19:59
    inclusive uh and sometimes I am certain
  • 00:20:02
    like all other things in our country
  • 00:20:04
    we're going to go to one extreme and
  • 00:20:06
    then we'll have to go back to the other
  • 00:20:07
    extremes and we'll come back in the
  • 00:20:08
    middle but I think every leader um not
  • 00:20:12
    just the cxos but I think actually the
  • 00:20:15
    head of every discipline has to think
  • 00:20:17
    about a how they can use AI in their own
  • 00:20:20
    discipline um and then secondly how can
  • 00:20:22
    they be more inclusive and then of
  • 00:20:24
    course the the whole matter of security
  • 00:20:26
    and privacy and you know having an on
  • 00:20:28
    onized data like this is just Baseline
  • 00:20:31
    in my mind I think companies that breach
  • 00:20:33
    that should like should definitely be
  • 00:20:35
    reprimanded right because that is just
  • 00:20:37
    putting it's it's a it's a question of
  • 00:20:39
    putting funding and resources towards
  • 00:20:42
    making sure that that Baseline is not uh
  • 00:20:45
    breached great so in the couple of
  • 00:20:47
    minutes we have remaining I want to do
  • 00:20:49
    kind of a quick lightning round here um
  • 00:20:51
    so if you put yourself in the shoes
  • 00:20:53
    let's say you're leading a startup
  • 00:20:55
    incubator and you have this pile of
  • 00:20:57
    applicants coming in to to get started
  • 00:20:59
    with what would be especially given your
  • 00:21:02
    experience your pragmatic reality and
  • 00:21:04
    your vision what would be things that
  • 00:21:06
    would kind of excite you and are there
  • 00:21:07
    anything things maybe you just kind of
  • 00:21:09
    throw away saying okay these guys are
  • 00:21:10
    just talking as a PowerPoint as
  • 00:21:12
    vaporware but potential but is there
  • 00:21:13
    anything that you would get excited and
  • 00:21:14
    jazzed about that you would look for as
  • 00:21:16
    a an incubator lead and maybe we'll go
  • 00:21:18
    order again maybe jerem me sure um
  • 00:21:21
    finding patients is tough to enroll into
  • 00:21:24
    clinical trials extremely hard like in
  • 00:21:27
    oncology um you typically only find a
  • 00:21:29
    patient as a referral um and then you
  • 00:21:32
    know in HIV and he viral hepatitis um
  • 00:21:35
    when we try to find patients who are
  • 00:21:37
    naive meaning they've never been treated
  • 00:21:39
    it's extremely hard um partially due to
  • 00:21:42
    our own success but yeah so like what
  • 00:21:44
    we've tried to start doing is take the
  • 00:21:46
    volume of not just us but Global
  • 00:21:48
    electronic medical records and build
  • 00:21:51
    massive arrays of predictive models that
  • 00:21:53
    will predict in advance a potential
  • 00:21:55
    successful screening or successful
  • 00:21:57
    diagnosis 6 months to 1 year before a
  • 00:22:00
    patient is even diagnosed um but that is
  • 00:22:03
    a massive undertaking and it is
  • 00:22:05
    something that I think if if a
  • 00:22:07
    really well-minded group of people could
  • 00:22:10
    solve that challenge to how do we
  • 00:22:11
    connect Global electronic medical
  • 00:22:13
    records together and make predictive
  • 00:22:15
    patient identification a reality I think
  • 00:22:17
    it would be fantastic awesome Yep two
  • 00:22:20
    two items for me that I would look for
  • 00:22:21
    from entrepreneurs there's a a real
  • 00:22:24
    desire for clinical research to be
  • 00:22:27
    embedded into clinical care today these
  • 00:22:31
    worlds operate connected but
  • 00:22:34
    separate um the second um would be that
  • 00:22:38
    most clinical trials that are run
  • 00:22:42
    fail um and it would be wonderful to
  • 00:22:45
    have um an assist of some sort um that
  • 00:22:50
    would help make it so that most clinical
  • 00:22:53
    trials
  • 00:22:55
    succeed great yeah yeah I by the way I
  • 00:22:58
    wish I an incubator one day I'm so I I
  • 00:23:00
    have this tendency of wanting to run
  • 00:23:02
    things versus sitting behind so that's a

    problem so two things from my side um I
  • 00:23:06
    think investing in companies that are
  • 00:23:09
    aiming from day one to make things
  • 00:23:11
    affordable and scalable across the globe
  • 00:23:13
    I think as part of a mission even if it
  • 00:23:15
    takes them decades is something I always
  • 00:23:17
    look for it's I have something I've
  • 00:23:18
    always looked at when I joined my new
  • 00:23:22
    companies and the second thing is any
  • 00:23:24
    any kind of AI that will make my
  • 00:23:26
    teenagers listen to me I think would be
  • 00:23:28
    one wonderful so I I I would invest in
  • 00:23:31
    that like right now oh yeah I think most
  • 00:23:33
    of us in the room may feel along those
  • 00:23:34
    lines I'm totally with you thank you so
  • 00:23:36
    much I know we're at time uh just as a
  • 00:23:38
    quick final takeaway and what I'm
  • 00:23:39
    hearing as well is that um gen
  • 00:23:41
    opportunities of course we're all
  • 00:23:42
    excited about it we've heard that
  • 00:23:44
    statement over and over again but we've
  • 00:23:45
    gone beyond individual productivity
  • 00:23:48
    right the days of just saying chat and
  • 00:23:49
    GPT is you know a great productivity
  • 00:23:52
    tool we're looking at Value chain
  • 00:23:53
    disruption how can I actually change
  • 00:23:56
    business processes in a meaningful way
  • 00:23:58
    but she prioritize those decisions
  • 00:24:00
    thinking about risk in our space
  • 00:24:02
    Enterprise Life Sciences risk comes
  • 00:24:04
    first and we're we'll take a hit on the
  • 00:24:06
    ROI if we're able to manage those risks
  • 00:24:09
    and I think that's a powerful place I'll
  • 00:24:11
    I'll end it there uh we're at time but
  • 00:24:13
