SHOW NOTES:

Smiletronix (@Smiletronix) - Yashar Faranjani (@yashar_f), Co-Founder & CEO - Personalized dental health screenings, handheld device

Does this augment dentists, or eventually replace the dental check-up?
Doctors tend to hate Web.md (everyone being an online doctor). How have dentists reacted to this service?
Being based in Europe, are there unique characteristics of European markets or healthcare that make this more applicable to adoption?

Lazarus (Cambridge, MA) - Ariel Elizarov (@aelizarov12), Co-Founder & CEO - AI for cancer screenings

Isn’t skin cancer (and moles) a fairly well-understood science at this point? What does AI bring to the equation?
How is patient information (doctor notes) managed between the patient, any given doctor, and the on-going doctors on the platform?
Your skin is a lifelong part of your health. How would this service work over a lifetime?
