More than 15.3 million Canadians have overweight and obesity. That means that 40% of the population is at risk of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, chronic joint pain, mental health and premature death. To prevent, treat and manage obesity and mental health-related conditions at scale the Canadian obesity industry needs to adopt digital health technologies in a new, accelerated way. This is an informative and inspirational talk by Michael Bidu, Founder and CEO of MYND Therapeutics, about how technology, AI and ChatGPT will democratize healthcare, digitize medicine and change the patient-physician relationship in obesity healthcare forever. The talk covers issues and ideas around the need to focus on customer or patient first, digital health, digitization of medicine, digital therapies, immersive technologies like VR/AR/XR and MXR, AI and ChatGPT, and Quantum Computing. The talk was delivered at the 8th annual Canadian Obesity Summit, May 14-17, 2023 in Whistler, Canada. For more info about MYND visit: myndtx.com
