    Trust and transparency in Healthcare AI - Sean Higgins, Founder ViveoAI

    Doing these podcasts gives me a chance to meet some great Irish start-ups and one such start-up is ViveoAI. Based in Coleraine, ViveoAI is a voice AI receptionist built specifically for dental practices and I recently caught up with Sean Higgins the founder of ViveoAI. Sean talks about his background, what ViveoAI does, creating a clone of a voice, AI receptionists and more. More about ViveoAI: The focus is on helping clinics answer missed calls, handle routine patient enquiries, and support appointment booking, rescheduling and cancellation workflows. Building the system around UK and Irish dental practices specifically, rather than using a generic US-style AI receptionist. This means local accents, Irish and UK phraseology, dental terminology, practice-specific workflows, and the kind of patient language people actually use when calling a clinic. As AI has to be deployed responsibly in healthcare settings and because dental practices handle sensitive patient information, there is a careful GDPR tightrope to walk. This ensures ViveoAI has to be useful, while also being tightly bounded, transparent, and clearly administrative rather than clinical. You can find more info on LinkedIn.

    EU AI compliance insights Cathal McCarthy, Chief Strategy Officer Kore.ai

    The EU AI compliance deadline arrived on August 2nd and it’s important that companies have been preparing for it. According to AI expert Cathal McCarthy of Kore.ai, companies that establish robust AI governance frameworks today will be better positioned to deploy AI faster in a highly regulated industry. To help leaders assess their preparedness, Cathal has developed a six-question diagnostic that evaluates the maturity of an organisation's AI governance program. The framework is designed to quickly identify whether key governance structures, accountability mechanisms, and oversight processes are in place, or where gaps still remain.   I caught up with Cathal to find out more about the EU AI compliance and how businesses should prepare for it. Cathal talks about his background, AI compliance, AI adaptability, the ability to learn, AI transparency and more. More about Cathal McCarthy: Cathal is Chief Strategy Officer at Kore.ai, an enterprise AI and agentic AI platform serving Fortune 500 and PE-backed customers globally. He has twenty-five years scaling enterprise technology businesses and has held leadership roles at Apple during its growth from $8B to over $200B in revenue, and at eBay leading initiatives across 163 million users.
