Tennessee Voices, Episode 234: Ravi Atreya and Pedro Teixeira, founders, PredictionHealth

#artificialintelligence

A frustration for physicians and primary care providers alike is trying to balance listening to a patient and properly documenting the medical visit. This documentation is essential to making sure all the data is captured properly and that the patient was heard and treated correctly. Ravi Atreya and Pedro Teixeira, who met when they were in a joint M.D./Ph.D. program at Vanderbilt University, set out to solve the problem and eventually founded PredictionHealth, which uses artificial intelligence (AI) to help health providers complete documentation. On this episode of the Tennessee Voices podcast, the pair talked about their passion for medicine, computer science and data and how AI can be "game changing." The purpose behind their startup was helping create effective communication channels and reducing the frustration doctors and nurses may face at times with technology.
