Episode description

It sounds like science fiction: Cough into your cell phone to get tested for COVID-19 instead of going in for a nasal-swab PCR test. But artificial intelligence / machine learning (AI / ML) researchers have been laying the groundwork for this for some time. Now Denver-based RAIsonance, Inc. is making it a reality. 

On this episode of Future Perfect Tech, we're talking to Kitty Kolding, co-founder and CEO of RAIsonance, Inc., to learn more about her companies and their revolutionary medical and biometric products.

Can AI-diagnostic tools help us get back to "normal"? How do you train these models? How can you tell a COVID cough from asthma or a sore throat? Can asymptomatic carriers of COVID-19 really be identified with a cough? How do you avoid AI bias? 

Kitty answers these questions and more.

Kitty is a successful start-up CEO, having led multiple early stage and mid stage start-ups across categories including marketing tech, marketing services, data and AI. She has founded and led three of her own companies, and has been hired into several start-ups by Founders and VC investors as a professional CEO, to drive more disciplined and productive business operations.

Raisonance is the parent company of family of AI-powered biometric safety and health screening companies focused on impacting respiratory illnesses.
