S3 | E28 | From LLM Models to Medicines with Patrick Leung - CTO @ Faro

Today on the ThinkData Podcast, I’m joined by Patrick Leung, CTO of Faro Health.

We dive into Patrick’s path from Google Duplex to healthtech, and explore how Faro is rethinking clinical trials, making them faster, more affordable, and trusted by researchers, doctors, and regulators.

We cover:

  • What drew Patrick into healthtech and the vision behind Faro
  • How Google Duplex shaped his view of AI in healthcare
  • Why clinical trials are slow and expensive, and how Faro is fixing that
  • Building AI systems that regulators can actually trust
  • What it means for Faro to act as a “design partner” for researchers
  • How Faro has already saved companies over $100M in trial costs

If you care about AI, healthcare, and the future of clinical trials, this is a must-listen.
