Dr Bradley Max Segal
Medical Doctor | Health Data Scientist
Hi There!
I’m Brad, a practicing medical doctor with a passion for technology and innovation. I simultaneously pursued medicine along with a master’s degree in biomedical engineering focusing on the applications of machine learning for health. I have worked extensively at the intersection of healthcare and data science to develop solutions to the challenges found in low-resource health systems, often serving as a bridge between technical and clinical teams. I’m fascinated by the future of medical practice and how artificial intelligence will shape and enhance it.
