    Episode 19: Communities at the heart of healthcare (with Jude Kong)
    Jan 29 2026
    Healthcare is about people as much as science. In this episode, we talk with Jude Dzevela Kong, Director of AIMMLab at the University of Toronto and Co-Director of ACADIC, about community-driven approaches to healthcare innovation.

    Jude explains how involving local communities and patients from problem definition to implementation leads to more effective, inclusive, and sustainable solutions. From empowering local communities to enabling global knowledge exchange, this conversation highlights why scientists must walk alongside communities to ensure healthcare truly leaves no one behind.

    In the final episode of 2025, we sit down with Scott Delp, Professor of Bioengineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Orthopaedic Surgery at Stanford University, and Director of the Wu Tsai Human Performance Alliance and the RESTORE Center.

    We met Professor Delp at the iSi Health Conference in September 2025, where we recorded a wide-ranging and insightful conversation on the role of in silico medicine in human health and performance. Together, we explore how computational models and digital simulations can help prevent injuries, accelerate recovery, and enhance human performance—all while prioritising safety and clinical rigor.

    Episode 17: AI deployment in healthcare (with Lia Martina)
    Nov 28 2025
    In this episode of The Digital Twin Theory we dive into the policy side of in silico medicine and digital health. This summer, the European Commission released its report “Study on the Deployment of AI in Healthcare”, a key document shaping Europe’s approach to trustworthy and effective AI in clinical settings.

    To unpack its findings, Davide speaks with Lia Martina, Policy Officer in Digital Health at DG SANTE. Lia works on the European Health Data Space, cybersecurity, and AI deployment in healthcare, and brings unique insights from inside the Commission. Tune in to understand what this study means for scientists, clinicians, patients, and policymakers across Europe.
