What the difference is in working for a corporation versus a startup when it comes to innovationHow Ohad transitioned into the founder journey What the benefits are to using AI in diagnosticsWhat it means to be problem-oriented rather than solution-oriented 

Key Takeaways: 

People often have an inaccurate view of what it’s like to lead a small company if they’re coming from a big company. In a big company, the CEO is the coach, they’re on the sidelines guiding an army of people while in a small company, the CEO is a player-coach, someone who leads while also in the field. Successfully transitioning to becoming a founder and hiring a CEO takes a lot of humility, trust, and transparency. It’s incredibly difficult to admit when the company needs a better fit for the leadership role, but sometimes it is necessary to take that step if the founder wants the company to grow further. AI can be used as a tool to help doctors become more efficient in their diagnostics and practice by providing assistance with things that are measurable, quantifiable, routine, and mundane. However, it can’t be used as a replacement for medically-trained and experienced professionals. Be problem-oriented. Innovators tend to think of a solution first and then find somebody who could use that. You always have to be in tune with what problem you are solving. 

“Medicine is a mix of art and science. An AI can really help with science - things that are measurable and quantifiable. But you're not going to lose the art, the human in the loop that's helping to make a better-informed decision or to complex tasks that require not just routine pattern recognition, but a more experienced set of eyes.” - Ohad Arazi
