AI for Radiology? It’s Operational AI

Dear Enthusiasts of the Future,

Welcome back to Next Future Today, your go-to podcast for exploring what’s coming, and how you can purposefully create your next future… today!

In our latest episode, we delved into the fascinating world of radiology and AI technology, featuring an insightful conversation with Jeff Chang, co-founder of RadAI. We explored how AI is revolutionizing radiology by streamlining reporting processes and reducing burnout among radiologists.

Radiologists often face overwhelming workloads, spending the majority of their time dictating reports for hundreds of studies with thousands of images each day. However, the release of a groundbreaking AI product has significantly alleviated this burden. By automatically generating report conclusions and recommendations, radiologists have seen a reduction in the amount they need to dictate, leading to decreased burnout and improved efficiency.

We also learned how RadAI’s operational AI solutions are seamlessly integrated into radiologists’ workflows, creating a zero-click solution that minimizes interruptions. Customized language and over 300 models and algorithms have significantly improved accuracy, demonstrating the potential of AI in improving healthcare processes.

In addition to the innovative AI applications, Jeff discussed the importance of ethical and beneficial AI implementation, emphasizing its role as a support system for radiologists. Furthermore, the episode touched on the potential impact of AI on job roles and the need for AI to be a force for positive change.

Next Future Today is committed to exploring the most cutting-edge developments in technology and their impact on various industries. We hope you find this episode as enlightening and thought-provoking as we did.

Secrets to Successful Software Pricing with Luke Hohmann

Audio:

Video:

Welcome to Next Future Today, hosted by Dan Keldsen.

Find more episodes at https://NextFutureToday.com, on YouTube, or in your favorite podcast app.

This interview between Dan Keldsen and Luke Hohmann discusses the importance of pricing and profit streams in software businesses, based on Luke’s latest book “Software Profit Streams” a spiritual successor to the long legacy of “canvas” style books first started by Business Model Generation.

“Software Profit Streams” is remarkably easy to understand, beautiful on the eyes, but quickly allows you to go VERY deep into software pricing.

Key Points

  • 🕰️ Time-based cadence is one of the triggers to change pricing.
  • 🏢 Internal triggers like adding new features can also necessitate pricing changes.
  • 🌍 External triggers such as regulatory changes, competitive forces, or hardware changes can impact pricing decisions.
  • 💰 Customer benefit analysis is the foundation for effective pricing strategies.
  • 🎯 Ilities (Reliability, Maintainability, Curability, Scalability) can be recast into current or future economic terms to inform pricing and licensing decisions.
  • 🤝 Intangible benefits of working with a company, such as being more flexible and willing to listen, should be considered in customer benefit analysis.
  • 📈 Pricing decisions should be revisited at least once a year, but more frequently in fast-growing products.
  • 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Collaborative decision-making is essential for pricing strategies.
  • 🧠 Simulations can be useful in building mental models, but relying too much on them can be risky due to unknown external triggers.

Keywords

  • Customer benefit analysis: Assessing the economic value or structure of a software’s benefits.
  • Ilities: Reliability, Maintainability, Curability, Scalability; attributes that can be recast into economic terms to inform pricing decisions.
  • Infrequent transaction: An event that occurs rarely, such as selling a house or revisiting pricing decisions.
  • Intangible benefits: Non-quantifiable benefits of a product or service, such as being a nice company to work with.
  • External triggers: Factors outside of a company that can impact pricing decisions, such as regulatory changes or competitive forces.
