Frank D. Vrionis

Thank you, Carly.

Pleasure to be here.

Sure.

So I'm Frank Vironis.

I'm a neurosurgeon.

I have been practicing for many years.

I did my medical school in Athens, Greece, my Master of Public Health at Harvard, my PhD at Duke, and my residency in neurosurgery at Tufts Medical Center.

Prior to

Coming here to Boca Raton, I was for 16 years at USF and Moffitt Cancer Center, where I also served as chief of neurosurgery.

That's in a nutshell.

my synopsis of my life so far.

Yeah, certainly, I mean, I'm interested in health care as a general rule.

But in particular, things that can help with the efficiency of delivery of the health care, such as AI, that's one thing.

Also, technology, innovations, and also research.

There are some of the things that I would be interested in and the strengths and the weaknesses of the system.

As you know, there's no healthcare system that's perfect, so it's important to try, even in small ways, to improve on the current one.

In AEI, from my perspective, right now it's only a research tool.

We've developed an AEI software that applies to spine so that, for example, if...

Somebody, we can enter somebody's CAT scan or MRI in the system and then the AI can deliver for us a computer model of somebody's spine and then we can potentially ask questions from a biomechanical standpoint, like if we do this intervention, what will happen to the spine and so on and so forth.

So from a research standpoint, that's more or less what I have.
