Augmedix, a company that say it turns natural clinician-patient conversation into medical documentation, announced on Wednesday, that Joe Marks, executive director of the Center for Machine Learning & Health at Carnegie Mellon University has been named as the company's new director.
Marks brings to the company extensive experience across such disciplines as artificial intelligence and human-in-the-loop automation. He has run the research labs at both Mitsubishi Electric and The Walt Disney Company. He has worked on DARPA-sponsored research projects for the US government, co-founded two start-ups, and has served as an advisor and consultant to the American Medical Association, all in addition to his current work at Carnegie Mellon. At Augmedix, Marks' official title will be independent director.
Manny Krakaris, chief executive officer at Augmedix, said, 'Augmedix is aggressively pursuing automation innovation in medical note documentation, data aggregation, and analysis. Joe Marks has an established record of pushing technical boundaries of artificial intelligence and machine learning, particularly within health care.
