Cristina Campero, PROSPERiA Health

Is the Key to Your Health Hidden in Your Eyes? | Prosperia Health

, , ,

What if a simple photo of your eyes could reveal crucial information about your overall health? This isn’t science fiction—it’s becoming reality sooner than you might expect.

In a recent episode of our acclaimed podcast, we sat down with Cristina Campero Peredo, co-founder of Prosperia Health. She shares her fascinating journey and explains how cutting-edge technology could detect serious health issues long before conventional methods.

From Consulting to Healthcare Revolution

Cristina’s path wasn’t always aimed at healthcare innovation. After working as a McKinsey consultant, she felt drawn toward creating meaningful impact—a journey that took her through Cambridge University and into entrepreneurship. What drove this pivotal change?

An Unseen Epidemic

Cristina reveals an alarming truth: diabetes is silently destroying vision for millions, especially in Mexico. Through a condition called diabetic retinopathy, people are losing their sight irreversibly—often without knowing they’re at risk until it’s too late.

AI: A Silent Savior?

Could artificial intelligence help detect this hidden threat early enough to prevent blindness? Prosperia Health has created innovative technology that analyzes retinal images quickly and efficiently in early stages, without requiring an ophthalmologist.

Intrigued? There’s more.

Your Eyes: A Gateway to Detecting Other Diseases?

The conversation explores how the retina might reveal clues about other serious conditions, including cardiovascular disease, kidney failure, and Alzheimer’s. This opens up exciting possibilities for preventive healthcare.

Collaboration, Not Replacement

Will AI take over doctors’ roles? Cristina offers valuable insights on the essential partnership between technology and healthcare professionals.

The Promise of AI in Revolutionizing Medicine

In this episode, we sit with Dr. Karim Galil, the founder, and CEO of Mendel.AI, an artificial intelligence-powered platform that extracts insights from medical records to improve patient outcomes. Dr. Galil shares his journey from practicing medicine to becoming a tech entrepreneur and AI’s role in making healthcare more data-driven. He discusses the challenges of subjective medical practices and the potential for AI to learn from every patient’s journey.

 

Dr. Galil explains that symbolic AI is more focused on teaching machines fundamentals of logic, rules, and concepts, while machine learning is more focused on learning from patterns. He gives an example of the opioid crisis, where a machine learning model would learn that opioids are great because humans are prescribing them, while a symbolic system would understand what opioids are and what the best options are. In the process of building AI in healthcare, Mendel.AI has used both symbolic AI and machine learning. Dr. Galil also discusses the challenges of talent acquisition in the AI industry and how the economy can impact AI talent availability. He emphasizes the importance of hiring talent with grit, curiosity, and coachability and the benefits of hiring mid-level to junior talent to assist the genius.

 

Mendel.AI is a healthcare platform that uses symbolic AI and machine learning to provide personalized treatment plans for patients. The platform reads every medical record and encounter between patients and healthcare systems to help physicians make more objective decisions. Mendel.AI works with big pharmaceuticals, payers, and data companies to help them read their data and glean insights to make better decisions. The platform can help pharmaceutical companies understand which patients respond better to what drug and in what occasions, and payers can decide whether to cover a certain medication or not. Mendel.AI uses domain experts to learn from, rather than just data, and can help pharmaceutical companies discontinue drugs that are not effective and optimize their drug offerings.
