Artificial intelligence is touching all aspects of drug development with a lot of focus, and potential noise, on the early stages of drug discovery. In this episode of Bloomberg Intelligence’s Vanguards of Health podcast BI’s Head of Global Industries Sam Fazeli discusses the contributions of machine learning, AI and AlphaFold 3 in drug discovery with Harren Jhoti, cofounder of Astex in 1999. Jhoti remains CEO of the group as part of Otsuka Pharmaceuticals. Astex’s pioneering work in fragment-based drug discovery has lead to three marketed oncology drugs, including Novartis’ Kisqali used for breast cancer. We delve into the steps in which AI can have meaningful impact and what this may mean for saving time in drug development and reducing the risk of drug failure.

Asensus Surgical plans to develop augmented intelligence capabilities that digitize surgery to lower variabilities during procedures, drive better results and ultimately expand the adoption of robotics, CEO Anthony Fernando says. In this episode of Bloomberg Intelligence’s Vanguards of Health Care podcast, Fernando sits down with BI health care analyst Matt Henriksson to discuss Asensus, the current barriers that keep robotic surgery’s penetration rates low and its pending acquisition by Karl Storz. Asensus’ product pathway includes the next-generation Luna robotic system, including TrueWrist 5mm instruments as well as enhancements to its Intelligent Surgical Unit.

Eko Health realized that the one tool that every doctor has on their neck, the stethoscope, has not been updated for 200 years, and designed a way for AI to be incorporated for early detection of heart failure, co-founder and CEO Connor Landgraf says. In this episode of Bloomberg Intelligence’s Vanguards of Health Care podcast, Landgraf talks with BI analyst Matt Henriksson about how the company was founded and how the Sensora Cardiac Disease Detection Platform can provide early identification of heart failure as a first-of-its-kind non-invasive test. By using algorithms and big data to detect small signals from electrocardiograms that are invisible to physicians, the technology can help shift the overarching trend in health care away from being reactive to patients symptoms, when it may be too late for treatment, and toward detecting disease before symptoms arise.

Onward Medical is driving the path to help paraplegics with spinal cord injuries (SCI) regain their lives, including one patient who is now able to play his guitar again, CEO Dave Marver tells Bloomberg Intelligence. In this episode of the Vanguards of Health Care podcast, Marver sits down with BI analyst Matt Henriksson for an in-depth interview about the company, key takeaways from the recent publication of the Uplift trial by Nature and how Onward’s developments differ from others that use brain-computer interfaces (BCI). The medical-technology provider connects BCI to its ARC platform to restore movement of the human body, instead of simply using the patient’s thoughts to control computer functions.
