Talk topics.

Each one is built from talks I have given or from my own writing. I adapt the length and the depth to the audience.

  1. Data doesn’t kill the story.

    In business we repeat that data kills the story. Politics convinced me otherwise. A data point alone is worth little; what matters is information, and information builds stories. When a story is anchored in what people already believe, no contrary data point can kill it. Only information can, when someone turns it into a better story.

    From my own writing.

  2. Super doctors, allies of AI.

    Doctors are heroes, and there are too few of them. AI should make them stronger, not replace them. What that looks like in a real clinic, with a tool used by 2,500+ clinicians.

    From TEDxUDeusto and CIS Guadalajara

  3. Building a health startup.

    Starting an AI startup is cheap; in healthcare, regulation costs hundreds of thousands of euros. In our first year we won nothing: we showed up, pitched and lost. What changed, what holds startups back in Spain compared with the US, and how you get from academia to the clinic.

    From the podcast with Jon Hernández

  4. Few data, real problems.

    Most companies don’t have a million labelled images. Few-shot learning lets a model learn from tens of examples. The research behind it, and where it works outside medicine.

    From my research: 847 citations
