Vishnu Rachakonda, a machine learning engineer at Tesseract Health, delves into AI in healthcare. In this episode, Vishnu begins by narrating his day-to-day role as an ML engineer. The realist in Vishnu explains what’s not going well with AI in healthcare with emphasis on whether AI is helping to bridge the clinical knowledge gap.
The focus then shifts to novel geographies and how solutions to local healthcare problems would be best sourced locally from homegrown companies rather than coming from big pharma or big tech. Given Vishnu’s passionate engagement with ML-Ops, he’s perfectly positioned to examine how this field and community is maturing.
