Jack Moore is a product manager at Qventus, a healthcare start-up based out of Mountain View, California. In this episode, we go into depth about how he and his team are using machine learning to improve the efficiency of hospitals such as the University of Minnesota’s MHealth system. One example we discuss is how Qventus builds and deploys models to improve patient care and reduce ICU bed wait times. At the end, we spend time talking about bias and race in medicine and how we can use AI to combat the propagation of such biases.
