AI That Saves Lives: Optimizing Healthcare administration

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Kira Radinsky, a remarkable AI pioneer whose journey from escaping the USSR as a child to predicting global crises is absolutely fascinating. Kira tells me how she successfully predicted the first cholera outbreak in Cuba in 130 years using AI, helping save countless lives by getting clean water there in time.

We dive deep into her current company, Diagnostic Robotics, which has raised $70 million and is tackling a massive healthcare crisis - by 2030, nearly 4 billion people won't have access to primary care. Her AI system now serves 28 million patients and has reduced hospital visits by 25% through predictive care coordination. What really blew me away was learning about her latest venture, Monobio, where she's using AI to create "spaceships" for mRNA delivery - essentially learning from viruses to target specific organs in the body for revolutionary treatments.

Throughout our conversation, Kira shares her philosophy of "jumping off the cliff" when it comes to innovation, insights on building AI companies in healthcare, and why she believes we need to think bigger about using AI to solve climate change and create new materials. Her story of resilience, scientific brilliance, and determination to use technology to save lives is truly inspiring.
