Episode #202 Smarter Cancer Patients? AI Can Help with That with Steve Brown, Founder and CEO, CureWise
Guest: Steve Brown, Founder and CEO, CureWise
Can ChatGPT cure cancer? If you listen to the news, you would think it’s close. But ChatGPT, just like any data repository, is just one source of information. What if patients could harness the power of many of the AI engines all at once to help them ask better questions, know about the latest treatments, and become a more active player in their treatment journey?
Steve Brown, Founder and CEO of CureWise, ran into this exact challenge when after years of seeking answers, he was diagnosed with a rare blood cancer. He started to explore what the AI models could tell him about his disease, the available treatments out there, and what he could be doing in his own life to minimize the effects. He found that the answers varied from model to model, but what they did do is help him become a more effective patient. He asked better questions, knew about treatments he could name to his physicians, and was able to work more collaboratively with them to find a treatment plan that would work for him, specifically. His own experience is the basis for CureWise, which is currently in beta release but will be available to the public soon.
In addition to his role at CureWise, Steve also serves as the Founder and CEO of the independent film/media company Ignite Channel Inc., Chief AI Officer of Peter Diamandis’ Abundance360 and PHD Ventures and partner/Board member of AI platform SignalPop LLC. Steve is an award winning documentary film maker and directed and produced SPARK: A Burning Man Story.
