#38 - Rethinking medical biology with AI - Alexandre Guenoun - Kiro

Medical biology and laboratories play an essential role in any health system.

No wonder that 70 to 80% of all medical decisions are based on laboratory test results.

But even within the most advanced healthcare systems, the communication and analysis of lab data remain archaic.

Processing times can be lengthy, even after the analysis is completed.

Results are expressed as "out of range" or "in range", without complementary or actionable information.

An experience still far from current technological standards, and a gap that Alexandre Guenoun and his team at Kiro intend to solve by redefining our experience of medical biology!

Through faster and more personalized results for patients.

With a suite of integrated clinical decision support tools for healthcare professionals.

And a longitudinal database to accelerate biomedical research.

A key service of any health system, at a turning point in France and beyond.

• The importance of engaging each individual in their health journey
