In this episode, we speak with Daniel Hawkins, CEO of Vista AI and veteran medical device innovator behind the Da Vinci robot and Shockwave Medical, about using AI to transform MRI imaging across all anatomies. Daniel explains how Vista AI's technology directly controls MRI machines to reduce scan times and skill requirements, acting as a "co-pilot" for technologists while addressing critical staffing shortages. We discuss his journey from discovering that 70% of severe mitral regurgitation diagnoses via echo aren't confirmed by MRI, leading to unnecessary surgeries, and how Vista AI's vision extends far beyond cardiac to automate every type of MRI scan, democratizing advanced imaging with minimal wait times.
