In this episode I spoke with Martin Kelly, the CEO and co-founder of Health XL. Health XL provides a platform and services to connect people, companies, and solutions to lead the change needed in healthcare. But before I recently had a chance to meet and speak with Martin, I would probably have described Health XL as one of the most impactful organizations that I’d heard of, but that I knew very little about. When I was introduced to Martin late last year, and I learned more about their work, I knew I wanted to have him come on and share some of the work that Health XL is doing, and, importantly, share how you can also contribute to and benefit from being a part of their organization or taking part in their events.

Speaking of events, Martin and I talk about some of the Health XL events for early 2018. We recorded this a few weeks ago so unfortunately some of the events have passed – but there is an upcoming event in London, England taking place on Wednesday May 2, and when last I checked there were still a few spots available. So get online and visit healhthxl.com and apply to be a part of it. I’ll be there and we will be talking about Precision Medicine, Chatbots, Deep Learning for Drug Discovery, Digital Therapeutics and more. It’s going to be a great day, and the event is limited to 100 people so be sure to go apply now if you’d like to be a part of it.
