Aaron Patzer, founder of Mint, has unfinished business with AI

This year marks the 10th anniversary of Mint's win at the first ever TechCrunch Startup Battlefield competition (back then – lost in the mists of time – it was known as TechCrunch 40). But what is less known about founder Aaron Patzer is that he's one of the pioneers of AI. Now based in the Southern Hemisphere, he's coming to speak at Techcrunch Battlefield Australia. In January this year, he started Vital Software, with Dr. Justin Schrager of Emory University, which makes software for hospital emergency rooms. When you include the fact that it's a mobile patient check-in for patients, and automatically creates electronic medical records designed for doctors and nurses, with the aim being to cut ER wait times in half, you start to understand the AI heritage it's come from. Patzer will join us as a speaker at TechCrunch Battlefield Australia in partnership with ELEVACAO, on November 16th at Australian Technology Park in Sydney.
