Ep 9: The cure for cancer is early detection. AI makes this easier. | Emi Gal and Evan Baehr
The 30-Minute Full Body Scan That Could Change Everything: AI Meets Cancer Detection
About the Episode
Ever notice how we spend billions trying to cure cancer, but barely anything on finding it early? My guest Emi Gal had a breakthrough moment reading medical papers on his honeymoon (yes, really) that changed everything. He discovered that if you find cancer early, 8 in 10 people survive. Find it late? Only 2 in 10 make it. The problem? We can only screen for HALF the types of cancer that exist. Through his company Ezra, Emi is using AI to make full-body MRI scans 50% faster and 90% cheaper - turning a $10,000 luxury for the wealthy into a $1,000 scan for everyone. We dive into how he's beating the "sick care" system, why most Americans are building heart disease right now without knowing it, and how AI might actually help radiologists instead of replacing them. Watch to learn why the future of healthcare isn't about treating disease - it's about spotting it before it starts.
