Daniel Mollura: Bringing Life-Saving Radiology to Hospitals around the World

Daniel Mollura: Bringing Life-Saving Radiology to Hospitals around the World

Dan: It’s great to be here, Spiffy! Have you ever had an X-ray for a broken bone or a cough, when a doctor took a picture of your arm, leg, or chest? Or gone to the dentist and had a picture taken inside your mouth to check for cavities? These are special medical pictures that help doctors see inside your body so they can help you heal and stay healthy. We call these pictures "radiology" because special "rays" (like X-rays) make the images. Many parts of the world don’t have enough doctors, health workers, or radiology machines to take these pictures or understand what they mean. That’s why our organization is called "RAD-AID"—because we help ("aid") hospitals around the world use radiology ("rad" for short) pictures to help sick or injured people.

Sid: It’s great to be here, Spiffy! It turns out that 80% of a person's income can be determined by their country of birth and their parents' income. That's a very unjust world for many people. IDinsight works to reduce this inequality. The way we do it is by using data, technology, and algorithms to amplify the impact of other non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and developing-country governments. This might involve better decision-making, improving efficiency through technology, or creating new services.

Diane Keng: Championing a Key Strand of Gender Equality as a Woman CEO in Tech
Diane: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! As the CEO of an AI-powered personalization company, I'm navigating a field predominantly led by men. Yet, I'm determined to break stereotypes and pave the way for gender equality. Many still believe certain jobs or industries are solely for specific stereotypes. Still, I'm living proof that women (no matter the age) can excel in coding, leadership, and innovation just as well as anyone. I strive to ensure that everyone, regardless of sexual orientation, race, or creed, has equal opportunities. This means dismantling barriers that perpetuate the notion of gender-specific roles. As a female CEO in the tech world, I'm challenging these norms and proving that success knows no gender. Breinify is championing an important cause of gender equality.
