One of the greatest fantasies in medicine is to one day be able to offer any patient a therapy perfectly adapted to their profile and needs. A "personalized" medicine. The term was introduced to the public in 1999 through an article in The Wall Street Journal titled "New Era of Personalized Medicine: Targeting Drugs for Each Unique Genetic Profile." The enthusiasm for these next-generation therapies was fueled by advances in DNA sequencing, which hinted at future discoveries in genomics and rapid progress in medicine. Twenty-five years later, it is clear that personalized medicine has become a reality (e.g., for the treatment of cancer or rare diseases), and technological progress continues to bring us closer to this ideal. But while developing new personalized therapies is one approach, identifying the most effective current therapies for each patient is another, equally powerful one. And thanks to the multimodal analysis capabilities enabled by AI, this field is rapidly expanding. Andre Esteva is one of the pioneers in this area, having significantly advanced medical research in this direction before venturing into entrepreneurship to make this technology available broadly. In less than three years, his company Artera has already achieved many things that most healthtech startups take much longer to reach: The launch of the first AI-based predictive test to evaluate treatment response to hormonal therapy in prostate cancer. The inclusion of the test in the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines nationwide. The obtention of federal reimbursement for the test. In this episode, Andre shares his vision of predictive medicine in the AI era, the potential of this technology for complex diseases such as cancer, and the keys to their success and recognition on the international medical scene! Timeline: 00:03:24 - Andre’s background as a researcher and entrepreneur in medical AI 00:06:01 - The origins of Artera and the vision of personalizing therapy for cancer patients 00:09:29 - Why AI is so relevant for predictive and prognostic medical applications 00:11:51 - How the ArteraAI Prostate Cancer test works 00:19:57 - Getting the test included in national guidelines within a year 00:24:16 - Developing further therapy prediction tests for cancer and beyond 00:26:03 - Lessons learned from securing national reimbursement within two years 00:29:22 - Andre’s view on current and future applications of AI in medicine What we also talked about with Andre: Salesforce H&E stain Prostate-specific antigen Chemotherapy Computer vision Large Language Models (LLMs) AI agents AlphaFold NeurIPS Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition Conference Marc Benioff We cited with Andre some of the past episodes of the series: #43 - Rethinking medical prescriptions to save lives - Emmanuel Bilbault - Posos #41 - Making sense of the gut microbiome - Leo Grady - Jona #40 - Cracking biology through AI - Jean-Philippe Vert - Owkin #36 - Turning healthcare preventive with full-body MRI scans - Andrew Lacy - Prenuvo As Andre mentioned during the episode, you can read their landmark paper published in npj Digital Medicine in 2021 to dive deeper into the technology they have developed.

Dear Friends, The holidays can be a beautiful time of connection, joy, and celebration—but for caregivers, it can also be a season that amplifies the weight we carry every day. The expectations, the comparisons, the logistics of making life work for our kids—it all feels louder somehow. This episode is my friendship letter to you, my fellow caregivers, during this holiday season. It’s for the days when the to-do lists are endless, the appointments keep coming, and the social invitations feel more isolating than joyful. It’s for the moments when you catch yourself scrolling through social media, comparing your life to others, and questioning if you’re doing enough—or if you’re enough. Spoiler: You are. I recorded this as a 10-minute refuge for you—a place to breathe, to feel seen, and to remind yourself that you are not alone. Together, we’re navigating the chaos, the exhaustion, and the love that grounds it all. If you’re like me, you might feel the weight of it all a little more during this time of year. Maybe you’re thinking about your child’s progress or lack thereof, or the struggle to attend even the simplest gatherings without feeling out of place. I see you. I feel you. And I hope this episode feels like a warm hug and a reminder that you’re doing an extraordinary job in an extraordinary situation. Every day you carry your child—physically, emotionally, and mentally—is a gift. It’s heavy, yes. But it’s also rooted in a love that’s unshakable. Take a moment, my friend. This one is for you. With love and gratitude, Effie 💛 P.S. If this episode resonates, share it with another caregiver who might need it. We’re stronger when we remind each other we’re not alone.
