Descripción

What happens when one of digital health’s sharpest observers sits down to talk about AI hype, health tech media, IPOs, storytelling, and the future of the industry?In this episode of Digital Health Inside Out, we speak with Christina Farr, a former CNBC reporter, CEO of Second Opinion, and GP at Scrub Capital, advisor, podcaster, and one of the most thoughtful voices in healthcare innovation.We talked about Christina’s transition from journalism into venture and media, whether she could have had a bigger impact by staying in reporting, the problem with how healthcare AI talks about job loss, why most companies still tell bad stories, what founders should share more openly, whether the digital health IPO window is really reopening, why Big Tech keeps struggling in healthcare, and whether AI scribes are a real breakthrough or just the latest wave of hype.This was an honest, nuanced, and at times uncomfortable conversation — exactly the kind we like to have on this channel.If you enjoy candid conversations about digital health, healthcare AI, startups, venture capital, and the realities behind the headlines, subscribe to the channel.

#4 Digital Health Inside Out Interviews: Is the Symptom Checker Dead? Infermedica CEO Piotr Orzechowski on AI Triage & Medical AI

In this episode of Digital Health Inside Out, Alex Koshykov and Sergei Polevikov sit down with Piotr Orzechowski, founder and CEO of Infermedica, one of the most established companies in AI-powered symptom assessment and clinical triage.We discuss how the symptom-checker category has changed, why standalone consumer symptom checkers may be “dead,” and why clinical-grade AI triage is still becoming more important within real healthcare workflows.Piotr shares the story of building Infermedica from Poland into a global healthtech company, the challenges of selling medical AI internationally, how Infermedica competes in the age of ChatGPT and LLMs, and why medical device certification, physician validation, liability, and evidence still matter.We also cover AI accuracy claims, peer-reviewed validation, neurosymbolic AI, voice-based triage, fundraising for founders from Eastern Europe, the future of AI diagnosis, and what kind of companies might eventually acquire Infermedica.If you care about healthcare AI, digital health, symptom checkers, clinical triage, LLMs in medicine, or the future of regulated medical AI, this conversation is for you.
