## Resource

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Freddy Nguyen , CEO and co-founder of Nine Diagnostics, whose background spans medicine, pathology, optics, and nanotechnology. Freddy shares how Nine Diagnostics is building a multiomics platform that helps cancer patients find out within days whether their treatment is actually working. We dig into why AI's real power in medicine lies in its ability to connect siloed data across molecular readouts, imaging, and clinical context, and why treating patients as more than just their diagnosis is the only way to build tools that actually hold up in the real world. We also get into the harder conversation: where AI in clinical workflows breaks down. It's a candid, technically grounded conversation about what equitable AI in medicine actually requires.
