Episode Highlights:

• Building Trust in Healthcare Innovation: Healthcare innovations "live or die" based on whether people trust them, making trust-building as crucial as technology development.
• Synthetic Data Solves Privacy Challenge: MDClone generates "fake" patient data that protects privacy while maintaining statistical utility for research and analysis.
• $7 Million Savings at Intermountain: Synthetic data analysis of 100,000+ kidney disease patients helped optimize care interventions and deliver measurable ROI.
• AI Needs Patient Data Access: Generative AI could automate clinical processes, but requires patient data for training- making synthetic data essential for healthcare AI.
• Democratizing Healthcare Data: MDClone enables physicians, researchers, and administrators to access robust patient datasets previously blocked by privacy barriers.

Daniel joined MDClone in its early days, launching the company’s operations in North America and establishing its first partnerships with healthcare organizations in the U.S. and Canada.
