Join Hume AI CEO Dr. Alan Cowen, Dr. Daniel Barron, Harvard Medical School psychiatrist and Director of the Pain Intervention & Digital Research Program, and Matt Forte as they discuss pain and personalized medicine. Different people express and describe their pain differently, but how these signals are understood can have life-altering implications. We discuss the different kinds of pain: acute vs. chronic pain, central vs. peripheral, the enigma of phantom limb pain, and how physicians evaluate pain syndromes and their treatment. Can pain be measured objectively? Is there a role for quantitative tools in treating pain? Can AI help us reduce bias in how pain is diagnosed and treated?
We begin with psychiatrist Dr. Daniel Barron and Hume AI CEO Dr. Alan Cowen discussing how culture affects the way people think about, describe, and express their pain.
