FIRESIDE CHAT with Dr. Jeff Chen: How Crowdsourcing Can Prove Natural Medicines and Revolutionize Healthcare

​Details

​What if there was an easy way to prove the effectiveness of natural products using AI and crowdsourced clinical trials?  Proof could transform these products into affordable natural medicines available to all—no pharma or insurance needed.  That's exactly what Dr. Jeff and his team at Radicle Science are doing, and they call it "Proof-as-a-Service".  Volunteers all over the U.S. get mailed product or placebo, give data via their smartphones, and get free health reports in return.  Working with these "citizen scientists", Radicle powers an avenue to bypassing the slow-moving process of FDA approval — giving some of nature’s oldest medicines the chance to be put to the test.
