E033: Edwin Wong: AI That Hears Mental Illness

Health Creators · 2023-11-02

What if we built an AI that could hear mental illness? Early intervention for serious mental illness can prevent 4 times the number of deaths (Anderson, 2018). However, cases are often missed, as diagnoses require a lengthy process conducted by specialists. Edwin, founder & CEO of Psyrin, is on a mission to transform the way we treat serious mental illness through speech-based diagnostics powered by AI.

I never dreamed of being a CEO... instead, I studied endless nights to become a Neuroscientist. This was how I would create change in healthcare. In reality, I was a terrible fit for academic research. I remember my old boss telling me 'the change you want to see in a day, you're not going to see in my lifetime or yours....' My first non-academic job was at a biotech startup turning psilocybin into a medicine for depression. Things moved different: closer to my pace. I also saw areas where tech could make things much faster and more efficient. I was inspired and built a company to improve how we develop medicines today: Neuroute. In growing this company (government-backed, VC-backed) over the last 3 years, I've met thousands of people with different backgrounds and inspiring visions of the future. This is my way of sharing what I learn from Creators building the Health of tomorrow. This is Health Creators, I’m Livia Lifes. Let's make healthcare better in this lifetime.
