Let's Combinate · 29 Jun 2022 · 1h 04m

What this episode covers

John Nosta, founder of NostaLab and member of the Google Health Advisory Board, argues that the pharmaceutical industry must shift from a superficial 'patient-centric' marketing stance to 'technology-centric' drug discovery and 'patient-infused' care. He distinguishes between innovation and the implementation of existing technologies, citing telemedicine and genomic analysis as key areas where leveraging current tools offers immediate value. Nosta also explores the duality of wonder and fear surrounding AI, using tools like DALL-E and Tesla to illustrate how technology augments human capability rather than replacing clinicians.
