Welcome to episode 228 of our Momenta Digital Thread podcast series. As our listeners know, Momenta has been emphasizing our 'Industrial Impact,' driving positive change toward Sustainability, Resilience, and Human-Centricity across critical industries through the use of digital technologies. Today, we have the honor of hosting Dr. Timothy Chou, the founder of Pediatric Moonshot, a visionary leader in the realm of technology and healthcare.

Dr. Timothy Chou: A Leader in Technology and Healthcare: Dr. Chou has made significant contributions over the years, leading the way in cloud computing and technology advancements. His early work at Oracle paved the path for industry transformations, and his 2004 book, "The End of Software," foresaw the rise of enterprise SaaS and highlighted emerging startups like Salesforce, NetSuite, and VMWare.

Leading Pediatric Moonshot: Dr. Chou's journey took an unexpected turn when he returned from retirement to lead Pediatric Moonshot. The mission is to reduce healthcare inequity, lower healthcare costs, and improve outcomes for children - locally, rurally, and globally. How? By creating privacy-preserving real-time AI applications based on access to data in all 1,000,000 healthcare machines in all 500 children's hospitals in the world. It’s all based on BevelCloud’s revolutionary privacy-preserving edge cloud service.
