Hi, I'm Shivani and today on Raised Line, I'm happy to be joined by Frank Scully, who's the cofounder and CEO of Bio Dial, which created the first 3d human visualization platform.

It's been called the Google Map of the human body. Tell us a bit more about your background and what led you to starting BD dial?

Like many people, I started in premed, I was fascinated with, with medicine. I ended up finding that I was um I really love to build things.

So I ended up doing my graduate work primarily in biomedical engineering. Um When I completed that work, it was really the inception of the uh of the internet boom.

Uh And then the bubble burst and I still had that passion for medicine. So I wanted to find a way to fuse technology and medicine.

Um At that same time, I met my now co-founder John and we saw the emergence of 3D tech, really the profound impact it was having on industries like video games and movies.

Uh We revolutionized those industries in a matter of years and we knew that the way people understood and learn about the human body really hadn't changed in centuries and that the same technology could have a similar, profound impact.

Our audience is primarily young trainees and healthcare professionals. Do you have any advice for them as they're uh kind of finishing up their training or even in many cases, beginning their training, I don't think there's a better time to enter health care because these are the people that are gonna be ushering in these medical advancements that you know, things that the world has never seen before, right?

And you and you look at cancer treatments and gene therapies and precision medicine and robotic surgery. Uh II think in 30 years, we're gonna look back at the way people were treated in the 20th century is or is as medieval.

Um now with the that those unprecedented advancements in this rapid change of technology, uh learning is gonna become even more important, right?

Because there I think II saw a stat that in the next two years, we're gonna create more health information that was ever created in all of history.

So how do you consume that information? Have that foundational level of knowledge, but then stay on top of the updates that lifelong learning, week to week, month to month.

You're gonna have to rely on technology to enable some of that. Thanks for watching this preview of raised line to hear the full interview, check out all of our podcasts and subscribe to the series.
