AI in Healthcare and Measuring Human Health | Select Research's Richard Barnes
On this episode of the AI For All Podcast, Richard Barnes, CEO of Select Research and inventor of the Body Volume Index (BVI), joins Ryan Chacon and Neil Sahota on the AI For All Podcast to discuss AI in healthcare and measuring human health. They talk about the applications of BVI, how AI is diagnosing health issues, longevity, measuring health in real-time, using AI with wearables, training AI models with diverse datasets, reunifying medical information with AI, and using AI to understand the health of a population.
Richard Barnes is the inventor of the Body Volume Index (BVI), a digital weight measurement developed over the past 15 years as an alternative to the Body Mass Index. BVI produces over 200 measurements just from two digital images of a person to measure weight distribution, body composition, and much more. AI is being integrated to provide insight into the differences in our body shapes across nations to work out who we are and what we are.
Select Research has been a pioneer in measuring human body shape for over 25 years. They have managed major national sizing surveys for clothing retailers using 3D technology to measure the outside of our bodies. In 2007, Select patented the Body Volume Index (BVI) to measure the inside of the body for healthcare and this has been developed since then with international academic and scientific partners, including Mayo Clinic.

Emotionally-Intelligent AI, Empathy, and AI Ethics | millionways' Martin Cordsmeier & Max Weidemann
On the first episode of the AI For All Podcast, Martin Cordsmeier and Max Weidemann from millionways join Ryan Chacon and Neil Sahota to discuss emotionally-intelligent AI, artificial empathy, and AI ethics. They talk about the applications of emotionally-intelligent AI, whether AI is more empathetic than the average person, AI in mental health, using AI to understand one's self, and whether AI should be able to make decisions autonomously.
Martin Cordsmeier is the co-founder and CEO of millionways, which began as a non-profit organization. As millionways grew, it pivoted to for-profit, and Martin moved to the US with his co-founder. Martin published a book about his belief that mental health starts with understanding yourself and your unconscious traits and patterns.
Max Weidemann is the co-founder and CTO of millionways. After graduating from Goethe University in Frankfurt, Germany with a Master's degree in Mathematics, he became a self-taught full-stack developer primarily interested in Applied Machine Learning and AI. After co-founding the start-up, millionways, with Martin in Germany, he moved to the US to further develop, scale, and market their technology.
millionways brings emotional intelligence to AI. millionways' technology can be used to give any platform the ability to learn its users' unique personality traits, hopes, fears, and ambitions and to ultimately create a deeply personalized user experience, with explainable outputs and more nuanced and empathetic than the typical AI black box.
