Nazgol: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! Our mission is to improve the care of joint disorders with the help of big data and AI. The problem is that the current tools for diagnosis and treatment planning of joint disorders do not provide sufficient and clear insight into patients’ joint abnormalities. This requires the orthopedic care team to rely on their experience, which can become problematic for patients with rare and complex joint disorders or those without access to experienced specialists. We are here to change that!
Fiza: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! Globally, 92% of medical data is recorded by pen and paper. These paper-based medical records are easily lost and never updated which leads to delayed diagnosis and irregular monitoring of a patient's health.
Luz: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! We aim to address the social, racial, and economic inequalities—in particular, among the Latino immigrant community in our neighborhoods—which can prevent immigrants moving ahead in life, in the workplace, and in society. Right now, our neighborhood is going through a rapid gentrification and as a result our community is getting displaced, the Latino immigrant community is going down from 56% to 40% as of today. Our community historically has jobs that do not pay well and are labor intensive and without benefits. As immigrant workers, most of the time we think we don’t have the power to make changes within the companies we work for or the neighborhoods we live in.
