Ron has built and invested in technology and healthcare companies that have served hundreds of millions of people and saved countless lives worldwide. He's an inventor holding a series of patents in healthcare technology and Artificial Intelligence and won the World Economic Forum Technology Pioneer award. Ron's articles have been published in respected media such as The Harvard Business Review, Forbes, Fortune Magazine, CNN, and TechCrunch.

Ron has also presented in leading technology and healthcare conferences, including The World Economic Forum, TED, and Fortune Brainstorm Tech. In this discussion, we talk about the impact of technology, particularly AI, on healthcare, how the pharma industry is adapting to the new technology platforms and the role he is playing in it. But my favorite segment is when we talk about his research, book and the TED talk on smile and how a simple smile can transcend cultural barriers and overcome any inner turmoil.
