Can AI Spot Diseases Your Doctor Might Miss? The Machine That Never Gets Tired with RJ Kedziora of Estenda Solutions

Your AI Injection

Can AI spot diseases your doctor might miss?
In this episode of Your AI Injection, host Deep Dhillon sits down with RJ Kedziora, co-founder of Estenda Solutions, to explore how AI is transforming medical diagnosis and why human doctors might soon be irresponsible not to use it. RJ shares how his company has spent 20+ years developing AI systems that detect diabetic retinopathy by scanning the back of your eye, often catching what human readers miss. They discuss the Joslyn Vision Network's deployment of 100+ cameras across Native American communities, ambient listening tools that free doctors from endless paperwork, and the challenge of creating "smell test repositories" to detect Parkinson's and Alzheimer's years earlier.
And as RJ points out, humans get tired, forget research, and take 6-7 years to diagnose rare diseases like lupus, while AI never sleeps. The two explore whether we're headed toward a future where refusing AI assistance becomes a medical injustice, and what happens when machines prove just as reliable as even the most experienced specialists.
