In this episode of Interconnected, hosts Shaniel Lafayette and Kyle Hilgendorf are joined by world-renowned cardiologist, scientist and author Dr. Eric Topol, as well as decentralized tech pioneer Jim Nasr to unpack how AI might catch diseases before they start, put patients back in control of their data, and unlock new possibilities in personalized care.

This is the launch of a special new Interconnected series called AI Renaissance, which examines how AI will shape everything from drug discovery to quantum computing. With an optimistic eye on the world to come, we will detail how these revolutionary innovations are likely to evolve and shape the way that we live, work, and play.
