Who’s actually out there solving real, life-or-death problems with AI?
In this episode of The Agent Factory, host Luke Schlangen sits down with Bruno Farias de Souza, Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer of Neomed — a Brazilian healthtech startup using AI to optimize diagnostic imaging and cardiovascular data analysis. Bruno explains why AI won’t replace physicians but will amplify them, how Neomed’s machine learning models screen 150,000+ EKGs a month in under 7 seconds, and why "moving slow" is actually the fastest way to build trust — and save lives — in healthcare. They dig into false positives vs. false negatives, why wearables aren’t as powerful as your regular blood test or EKG, and how Google for Startups credits and mentorship helped keep Neomed alive through COVID.
