What inspires you about your job?
I'm inspired by the opportunity to work at the forefront of technology, not only in the development of AI tools to support MTIP's investment team but also in the companies that MTIP invests in. These companies are revolutionizing healthcare and improving the lives of many, and it's truly exciting to be part of that transformative process.
What trends will most likely influence healthcare?
The healthcare industry is constantly evolving, and several trends are emerging that are likely to have a significant impact in the coming years. One of these trends is the increasing use of Large Language Models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT. As LLM technology continues to advance, it has the potential to transform various aspects of healthcare. For instance, LLMs can be leveraged to provide automatic assistance from insurance companies and direct support to physicians, freeing up healthcare professionals' time to focus on more critical tasks.
How do you de-stress?
I recharge by spending time in the great outdoors. Whether I'm running, hiking in the Swiss Alps, or cycling, nothing beats fresh air and adventure for clearing my mind and getting ready to tackle new challenges!
