Real-World Evidence for Healthcare with Brigham Hyde from Atropos Health

To succeed at an AI startup, you have to be able to show your work and its value. During this episode, I am joined by Brigham Hyde, Co-Founder and CEO of Atropos Health, to talk about his app that gathers real-world evidence for healthcare. He is an entrepreneur, operator, and investor who is deeply immersed in the potential of data and AI. Join us as he shares his journey to creating Atropos Health, why he believes AI is important for healthcare, and the potential it holds to bridge the evidence gap. We discuss how the lack of diversity in healthcare data has impacted patient outcomes leading up to this point and explore some of the methods Atropos uses to get the most out of machine learning. We discuss the AI data-gathering process, how each setup is validated and adapted, and how he measures the impact of his technology. In closing, he shares advice for other leaders of AI-powered startups and offers his vision for the future impact of Atropos.
