Description

The data necessary to achieve the promise of precision medicine are now available with low-cost whole-genome sequencing, microbiome analysis, proteomics, and other large datasets. Bioscope has developed a team of AI personas to help clinicians realize that promise in a way that will revolutionize the practice of medicine.

In this episode, Sandy Vance speaks with Don Brown, MD, Founder and CEO of Bioscope, about how AI and large-scale biological data are converging to make precision medicine practical for clinicians. They explore Don’s entrepreneurial journey, the origins of Bioscope, and how a subscription-based, clinician-first approach is shaping the future of personalized care.

In this episode, they talk about:

• Don Brown’s unconventional journey from double-wide to CEO of a groundbreaking company
• The inspiration behind founding Bioscope and the problem it was created to solve
• How Don’s “entrepreneurial bat signal” attracted talent, partners, and early momentum
• Why Bioscope began by partnering with concierge medical practices rather than large health systems
• How Bioscope’s per-patient, per-year subscription model works in practice
• Real-world use cases and early case studies demonstrating clinical impact
• What the current early rollout looks like and where Bioscope is headed next
