E031: Omar Daniel: Achieving Success as an Investor in Health Tech

Why does the current biomedical research system primarily favour Caucasian individuals? This week I am joined by Casper Barnes, the founder and CEO of AminoChain. He's actively working on rectifying this inequality through the creation of a blockchain-based platform that enables donors to monitor their samples and earn a share of the proceeds when they are utilised for commercial purposes. This will help to incentivise participation in research from a wider range of people, and ensure that donors are fairly compensated for their contributions.

What if you could control your brain through an app? We've all heard of Neuralink and although Elon is loved by a lot of people - I'm not sure all of those people would get brain surgery to get it implanted. So yes brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) have the capability of fixing localized issues in the brain but having to go through the skull means that it's unlikely we will see the full potential of BCIs on the individual or network level unless we can make it significantly easier for people to access. What I love about what Sumner is doing is the downstream impact of everyone having a BCI. Mood disorders are a great and impactful example of what we could solve for the individual, but what could drastically transform how society functions is the way BCIs will change how we communicate and interact with each other. Join us in this discussion on the future of BCIs, Forest Neurotech and turning sci-fi into reality.Connect with us: Neuroute - AI for clinical trials https://www.neuroute.co/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/livialifes LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/livialifes Guests: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sumnernorman/ #CEO #Podcast #BrainTech #NeuroInnovation #MentalHealthTech

For a long time, WebMD has been the go to for people searching for answers on their symptoms. At it's peak (Q3 of 2016), WebMD was visited by over 192 million visitors per month. Now, with the emergence of AI and computer vision, Pierangelo Raiola and the XTRA Vision team are transforming symptom checking for both individuals and healthcare systems. Listen in as we explore how AI can answer precise questions patients have and improve triage in healthcare systems as well as Pierangelo's journey from being an Italian national skier to building at the forefront of AI and healthcare.

What if you could put your brain into a computer?It might sound like sci-if but if you learn anything from this episode, you’ll learn that we’re not far from it. Hon is the founder and CEO of Cortical Labs, a moonshot startup that went viral on Reddit for training brain chips to play computer games. Tune in to find out the groundbreaking applications of brain chips in medicine, computing and human interaction.Connect with us: Neuroute - copilot for clinical trials https://www.neuroute.co/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/livialifes LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/livialifes Guests: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hochong#CEO #Podcast #BioTech #BioComputing #AIInnovation

Globally, there are an estimated 11 to 20 million cases of typhoid fever each year, leading to roughly 128,000 to 161,000 deaths (WHO, 2018). This disease is usually caused by Salmonella Typhi. But what if this same bacteria could be used to deliver therapeutic molecules directly to where they're needed in the body? Kristen Albright, CEO of Prokarium, joins myself in this episode to discuss the potential of synthetic biology in healthcare and how her team is programming bacteria like Salmonella Typhi to create what they call 'living cures'.

Churchill once said Those who never change their minds, never change anything.' But how do we go about breaking dangerous habitual thought patterns?In this episode, Lissy (founder of Myndy) takes us through the inner workings of stress and how you can train your mental fitness in order to prevent burnout.Connect with us: Neuroute - copilot for clinical trials https://www.neuroute.co/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/livialifes LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/livialifes Guests: https://www.linkedin.com/in/edwinwongphd/

What if we built an AI that could hear mental illness? Early intervention for serious mental illness can prevent 4 times the number of deaths (Anderson, 2018). However, cases are often missed, as diagnoses require a lengthy process conducted by specialists. Edwin, founder & CEO of Psyrin, is on a mission to transform the way we treat serious mental illness through speech-based diagnostics powered by AI.

Can we remove death from life? The term longevity is derived from the Latin word longaevitas, meaning long life.Today, longevity encompasses both a science and a movement that are intertwined with one another. In this episode, Simon and I discuss longevity, the 12 pillars of ageing and building a consumer healthcare startup to promote longevity for the masses.
