Ignacio is CEO-founder of Savana, an artificial intelligence platform that accelerates and expands medical research, as well as improving the quality of patient care and hospital management. Savana works by reading and analysing the data in millions (currently 180 million) of clinical cases, learning from them and generating predictive models that anticipate the best intervention for a patient by tapping into a wealth of clinical knowledge that has been buried until now.
Ignacio is also the founder of Mendelian, a platform designed to democratise the use of genomic information for diagnosis.
