Chat GPT for Public Health and Creating Labs of the Future

Ajay Gupta CEO of HSR Health and Este Geraghty, Chief Medical Office at Esri discuss how tech can be used to fight new and ongoing health threats. Dr. Alán Aspuru-Guzik, a professor of chemistry and computer science at the University of Toronto talks about creating labs of the future to accelerate scientific discovery. He also discusses the pressing question of whether AI can make a good cup of tea.

Delivering on the Promise of Genetic and Genomic Medicine

We all have extraordinary genetic similarity, but this allows the investigation of the small but impactful variations between populations that influence disease risk and resilience. We spoke to Brendan Lee, President of the Americn Society of Human Genetics about delivering on the promise of genetic and genomic medicine. Dr. Rosario Isasi, from the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine talks about societal attitudes towards scientific innovation and the factors shaping technological uptake, public engagement, and support.

AI & Infectious Diseases and Diversity in Genetics

What is AI's role in the fight against infectious diseases? Chair of Harvard Medical School’s Department of Biomedical Informatics, Isaac Kohane gives his thoughts. Dr Athena Starlard-Davenport, from the University Tennessee and Dr. Charles Rotimi, from the National Human Genome Research Institute discuss why population data needs to represent people of different genders and ethnicities in an equitable way and how we can all benefit if they do.

Intensive Care, Heart Imaging and Quantum Medicine

Can intensive care harness the potential of AI, can heart imaging merge with therapy and how can quantum science bout expand the potential of nuclear medicine. Professor Jean-Louis Vincent from Erasme University Hospital in Brussels, Dr James Thackeray from Hannover Medical School in Germany and Professor Taiga Yamaya, from the Institute of Quantum Medical Science in Japan, take a deep dive into technology and medicine.

Decarbonisation of the automotive industry, software defined vehicles, quantum cars

Can the automotive industry decarbonise, can diversity drive innovation in vehicle design and how will quantum technology change our transport systems? Agents of Tech explores these issues with Dr. Kelly Senecal of Convergent Science, Dipti Vachani of Arm and Dr. Richard Wagner from Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
