In this inaugural episode of the Rare Mind Talks Podcast, we discuss the power of AI and data to transform the landscape of rare diseases. Our guest, José Videira, Chief Digital and Information Officer at Solvias, shares thoughtful insights into how these technologies can accelerate diagnosis and treatment, but also reminds us to pause and ask, “What are we forgetting?” José highlights that while the promise of AI is immense, much of its potential remains untapped. He stresses the importance of prioritising direction over perfection and explains why clearly defining the problem is often half the solution. We also explore the value of moving quickly with pilots, integrating regulation along the way rather than letting it halt innovation from the outset. José offers a compelling take on why smaller biotech firms often take the lead in rare disease innovation and warns that without a focus on outcomes, even the most exciting developments can become background noise. Rare Mind Talks podcast explores how AI, data, and innovation are transforming healthcare for rare diseases. Hosted by André Correia, a digital transformation leader and rare disease advocate, this Podcast aims to simplify complex topics, inspire research, and connect experts to improve lives.
