Artur Ortega

Artur Ortega is one of those professionals who inspires motivation and truly leads by example. He is currently the Head of Babylon Health´s platform architecture.

For those who don’t know: Babylon Health is a health service provider that provides remote consultations with doctors and health care professionals via text and video messaging through its mobile application. Their subscription based business model for private healthcare services launched in the UK in 2013 and they have now expanded internationally to countries such as Canada, Saudi Arabia and the US. Their mission and value proposition is to put an affordable and accessible health service in the hands of every person on earth.

In this 4th episode of the 1st season we discuss with Artur the evolution of data analytics, from the traditional early data warehouses project where he took part in, to the machine learning models and advanced analytics projects that he worked on later on. Many powerful use cases from his past in Yahoo, in The Telegraph and in The Economist are discussed. Moreover, he briefly mentions how Babylon strives to embed AI as the main enabling technology in their digital health platform.

Artur truly is a remarkable individual and we could not be more happy to bring you this new episode with him in it. Honestly, we feel that 1 hour was not nearly enough, that we needed more time with him and that we will have to get him on board again for a 2nd recording.
