At The Harry Glorikian Show, I, Harry Glorikian, am your host. In short, I have talks with leaders in the healthcare & life sciences industry about the ongoing data-driven transformation of their industry.
From new ways to diagnose & treat patients, bring down costs & creating new value, all the way to AI algorithms that increase efficiency & accuracy, better data is revolutionizing healthcare.
I turn to doctors, hospital administrators, IT directors, entrepreneurs, & others for help mapping out the changes & their impact on everyone from patients to researchers.

How Caristo is Using AI to Reduce Heart Attack Risk
Harry's guests this week are Frank Cheng, CEO of UK-based Caristo Diagnostics, and Keith Channon, Caristo's co-founder and chief medical officer. Under their leadership, Caristo has introduced an AI-based test called CariHeart that applies machine learning to the data in a three-dimensional CT scan of the heart. It looks for signs of inflammation in the fat tissue around the major coronary arteries—a risk factor that's often overlooked because it isn't always accompanied by plaque or narrowing of the arteries. Doctors can use that information to decide whether a patient needs to take a cholesterol-lowering drug like a statin or an anti-inflammatory drug like colchicine. Caristo’s test is being used on an experimental basis in the UK, and it hasn’t yet been approved for use in the US. But it’s a leading example of the way AI, put together with fundamental advances in our understanding of human biology, is really beginning to change the practice of medicine.
