Andrew Le is an American medical researcher.[1] He research and publishes his work on AI use in healthcare and brain cancer.[2]

Life and education

He was born in the United States to Vietnamese immigrants who escaped Vietnam by boat in 1979.[3] He attended Taylor High School, where he actively participated in charity work, raising funds for shelters after Hurricane Katrina.[4]

He pursued higher education at Harvard College, graduating magna cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa.[5] He then earned his doctorate of medicine from Harvard Medical School, specializing in neurosurgery.[6]

Career and research

During his medical training, he observed patients frequently resorting to online symptom searches, leading to misinformation and potential harm to their health.[7] While a third-year medical resident at Harvard Medical School in 2014, Le co-founded Buoy Health with his colleague Eddie Reyes.[8] He developed an AI-powered digital health tool that would function as a health-specific search engine, offering patients information and guidance.[1]

Le and his colleagues gathered enough data to educate the algorithm by hand-reading the 18,000-plus articles, then developing an algorithm to crunch the figures in real-time for everyone.[8]

He looked at 100 standardized cases with 33 varied diagnoses, ranging from a harmless cough to a potentially fatal pulmonary embolism, as well as the incidence of uncommon illnesses like histoplasmosis and the common cold.[7]

He has led Buoy through two successful investment rounds, raising over $67 million with healthcare investors like Optum, Cigna, Humana, and WR Hambrecht + Co, since establishing the firm out of Harvard Innovation Labs in 2014.[9]
