From cybersecurity to saving lives: how an Israeli startup is using AI to transform medical research. ## Briya co-founder and CEO David Lazerson explains how artificial intelligence is unlocking medical data, identifying patients at risk and helping researchers uncover insights that could change the future of healthcare. What he did know was that he wanted to build something that could make a meaningful difference in people's lives. Seven years later, he is leading Briya, an Israeli health-tech company using artificial intelligence to transform how medical research is conducted, helping researchers uncover critical information hidden in vast amounts of healthcare data. But most of it is never actually used." Briya's mission is to change that by giving medical researchers, hospitals, universities and pharmaceutical companies the ability to analyze complex healthcare information using specialized AI. Briya's AI technology was then used to analyze radiology reports, including information that had not necessarily been entered as a formal diagnosis in patients' medical records.
